Germany has announced it will soon supply Ukraine with new long-range missile systems, but not the Taurus cruise missiles that Kyiv has long sought. Despite previous speculation, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed that Taurus missilesâcapable of striking targets up to 500 km awayâwill not be sent. Instead, Germany is providing Patriot air defense systems purchased from the U.S. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized that diplomatic avenues with Russia are "exhausted" and vowed to counter what he called a âcriminal regime.â

Iranâs Foreign Ministry has launched a blistering verbal offensive against German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, accusing Berlin of directly supporting Israelâs âwar of aggressionâ against the Islamic Republic. In a fiery statement posted online, senior Iranian official Esmaeil Baqaei slammed Merz for endorsing what he called âatrocity crimesâ and âunprovoked armed attacksâ by Israel, claiming it violated the UN Charterâs Article 2(4). Labeling Germanyâs position as both âillegalâ and âcriminal,â Baqaei said Berlinâs support amounts to âcomplicity in aggressionâ and warned that Germany now bears international legal responsibility. The remarks come as Iran seeks to rally global opinion against Israel following strikes on its territory, and as Tehran accuses Western powers of shielding Israeli actions. Iranâs legal framing of Germanyâs conduct could escalate diplomatic tensions and spark fierce debates at global forums including the UN and ICJ.

IAEA chief Rafael Grossi has triggered global debate by revealing that Germany possesses the materials, technology, and expertise to build a nuclear bomb within monthsâif it chose to. While Germany remains committed to non-proliferation treaties, Grossi warned that no nation is guided solely by altruism on nuclear matters. German politician Jens Spahn reignited calls for Berlin to access UK or French nuclear deterrents, claiming U.S. nukes on German soil are no longer enough to counter the Russian threat.
