France and Germany have scrapped their joint sixth-generation fighter jet project, dealing a major blow to European defense integration amid uncertainty over US support for NATO.

The United States is expected to scrap a plan to deploy Tomahawk cruise missiles to Germany, a reversal driven by fear of Russian retaliation and a weapons stockpile drained by the US-Israeli aggression on Iran.

Iran says Germany’s “irresponsible, hypocritical, and complicit stance” on war crimes committed by the US and the Israeli regime in West Asia caused the failure of the European country to secure a seat on the United Nations Security Council.

Germany suffered a humiliating defeat in its bid for a UN Security Council seat, with Berlin partly blaming its unwavering support for Israel for the loss of key votes.

Iran’s Embassy in Berlin says German prosecutors’ claims about Tehran’s alleged involvement in attacks on Jewish figures are “unfounded” and follow “worn-out clichés.”

Iran tells Germany that the unlawful US-Israel attacks against the Islamic Republic were not merely an unnecessary war but a blatant act of aggression against a sovereign state.

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier has taken a strong and principled stance against the illegal joint military aggression by the United States and the Israeli regime on the Islamic Republic of Iran.
