German Chancellor makes statement on Iran-Israel conflict

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who is in the city of Chongqing as part of his visit to China, answered questions from journalists regarding the tension between Iran and Israel.

Reiterating that they condemn Iran's air attacks on Israel, Scholz said, "This is an attack that cannot be defended in any way. This is a serious escalation of the situation and is in no way acceptable, understandable, or tolerable."

WARNED IRAN

Stating that a connection would also be made with the G7 countries, in which he will also participate, Scholz said, "We will do everything in our power to prevent further escalation, and that is why we will continue on our current path. However, we can only warn everyone, especially Iran, not to continue in this manner."

Scholz also noted that they stand in solidarity with Israel.
