[German Defense Minister: German Armed Forces Will Not Participate in a War Against Iran] According to a report by Jinse Finance, on the 4th local time, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius stated in a speech at the Bundestag that Germany is not a party to the conflict and will not participate in a war by the United States and Israel against Iran. Furthermore, Germany will make every effort to de-escalate the situation and prevent further spread of violence. Pistorius said that the risk of escalating conflict and further turmoil in the Middle East is currently immense. From historical experience, starting a war is far easier than ending one. Conversely, this means that a strong withdrawal strategy is needed first. However, in the Middle East, he has not yet seen such a strategy. (CCTV News)
