German Spiegel edition has a comment that clears up why the print edition is making such a big issue of the deal. The author of the article is no nobody but an Israeli expert who has close links and is well embedded in the Israeli military network. While German parties now make a big show and opposition fights against coalition and everybody acts as if the essays are a great revelation, it is more likely that the author simply has abused the Spiegel for Israeli interests. And that interest is to give Europe and Germany a strong hint on that the time window for endless word blubbering over Iran is closing and that from an Israeli perspective a nuclear arms race if not a war is the next thing coming.
In other words, the essays are a warning to Germany to still ignore the Iranian threat, and that things can become ugly very fast if this ignorrance does not come to a final and long-awaited end.
What the article thus says is not a sensation uncovered, what it really says is: Europe, get your acts together over Iran, else...
