However, right now this is still unconfirmed news. It cannot be ruled out that it is a staged event by Iran trying to intimidate the West or to divide it, by now claiming that it will retaliate outside Iranian borders, internationally. This wpould serve as a reminder that Europe would not be safe from Iranian retaliation in case of an Israeli-Amerian attack.
Not that I would change my min d due to that.
The German general state attorney recently launched investigations into intel clues that Iran plans to strike American facilities on German soil. Amongst the targets suspected is the American hospital in Landstuhl. They claim to not have found anything so far. But that means nothing, since it should not be taken for granted that they would publish such clueas or evidence right now.
The german chan celor also has finally willed to deliver anothe rdolphin submarine to Israel, after having blocked the deal for one year while demanding the Israelis to make concessions to the Palestinians. It was a blockade move by Merkel herself. The unfreezing by Israel of 100 million in tax funds for the Palestinians, and the growing threat of war in the region may have changed Merkels mind. However, as was written by German commentators, it is a serious breaking of a taboo in German policy, because never before has Germany ever linked security policies on behalf of Israeli interest with Israel'S status in diplomatic relations or inner political events. With Germany being Israel'S only supplier of submarines (which are assumed to be potent to carry Israel'S nuclear deterrant weapons in form of seal-klaucnhed medium range ballisric missiles, the Germany blocking of the deal no bdoubt has rang the alarm bells in Jeruslem. I expect them to try to form new military ties with somebody else so that their nuclear retaliation capacity is not at risk if Germany does refuse to update the aging fleet of already existing Dolphins.
