SAEDNEWS: Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei denounced the German chancellor’s remarks about Iran’s “war,” “military nuclear program,” and “proxies,” calling them a knowingly distorted narrative and accusing Berlin of appeasing aggressors.
According to Saednews, In a post on his X account on Wednesday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei rejected the German chancellor’s characterization of Iran and criticized Germany’s position on the ongoing conflict in the region.
“The German Chancellor speaks of Iran’s ‘war,’ its ‘military nuclear program,’ and Iran’s ‘proxies.’ This narrative is knowingly distorted. It was USrael—not Iran—that launched a war of aggression, and Germany failed to show even the minimum moral courage required to deplore that,” Baqaei said.
He added that the groups Berlin describes as “proxies” are independent actors with their own causes and calculations.
“They are fighting for self-determination, freedom, and dignity against occupation, aggression and subjugation,” he said.
Baqaei also rejected allegations that Iran has a military nuclear program, describing the claims as based on what he called an Israeli-fabricated “big lie” that is repeatedly promoted by Israel’s supporters.
“Our region should not have to pay the price for Germany’s guilt complex or its habit of appeasement vis-a-vis bullies,” the Iranian spokesman said.
“Germany cannot underwrite the ‘dirty work’ and then pose as a champion of peace and a moral instructor,” he added.
