Green Party politician Omid Nouripour, hailing from Iran, issues a stern caution of further escalation in the on-going war between Israel and Iran. The region edges towards a "burning rubble" situation, with unpredictable consequences, not limited to Israel alone. Meanwhile, the regime's iron grip tightens on the Iranian people, leading to an upward trend in repression against its citizens.
Vice-President of the Bundestag and Green Party's foreign policy spokesperson, Omid Nouripour, predicts a deteriorating situation in the region if the conflict between Israel and Iran persists. "The entire region's stability is at stake, and the potential fallout from this 'burning rubble' would be unpredictable, not only for Israel," Nouripour told ntv.de. "Moreover, there is the possibility of radioactive leakage having disastrous consequences for humans and the environment, far beyond Iran."

It is about safeguarding the civilian population in both nations and paving the way for diplomatic solutions. He also holds the German federal government accountable. "I expect Foreign Minister Wadephul to use all diplomatic tools to prevent further escalation."
Nouripour Holds Wadephul to Account
Leading diplomats, including French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, British Foreign Minister David Lammy, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul, and EU High Representative Kaja Kallas, urged Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghtchi to return to the negotiating table regarding his country's nuclear program "as soon as possible and without preconditions" during a Monday evening phone call. The leaders of the G7 also addressed the conflict at their summit meeting in Canada, declaring together that Iran must not possess nuclear weapons.
Politics In the Bundestag: "Truth has no Ban;" Nouripour Criticizes Tehran's Nuclear Ambitions Nouripour criticized Tehran's nuclear armament ambitions. "For years, the regime in Tehran has destabilized the entire region and advanced its nuclear program despite all warnings, sanctions, and diplomatic efforts," said the foreign policy spokesman. "By doing so, Iran is brazenly violating the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, from which it now apparently wants to withdraw." He goes on to express concern about the threat posed by a nuclear-armed Iran.
Politics From Diplomacy to Destruction: The Iranian Government's Aims Meanwhile, Nouripour expresses concern about the Iranian civilian population's worsening situation. "The internal political landscape in Iran is becoming increasingly chaotic," says Nouripour. Economic crises, fueled by international sanctions, are making matters worse, as rising fuel prices and supply shortages exacerbate the crisis. "Nationwide shortages of fuel and basic supplies are becoming commonplace," says Nouripour. Reports indicate long lines at gas stations, while many residents attempt to flee Tehran under Israeli shelling.
Politics Between Fear and Outcry; "The People of Iran Don't Know What to Do" Unlike Israel, Iran's leadership seems to have made little preparation for civil defense, protecting its people in the event of an escalation of the conflict with Israel. The population continues to live in a state of constant uncertainty, as the regime fails to implement reliable civil defense measures through systematic mismanagement, allowing central supply systems to collapse. "Unforeseen repression policy is intensifying," adds Nouripour. Arrests and internet shutdowns are on the rise as authorities try to snuff out protests and political opposition at their inception.

- Deeper InsightIn the context of Iran and its regional tensions, the ongoing conflict with Israel continues to threaten the general stability of the region. The lack of secure civil defenses in Iran leaves its population vulnerable to the chaos of potential escalations, while increased repression and control by authorities stifle any opportunity for peaceful solutions. The broader Middle East faces ongoing instability without concerted efforts to address these interwoven problems.
The Commission has also been consulted on the draft Council decision on the conclusion of the agreement, as the tension between Israel and Iran potentially impacts the stability of the entire region. The politics surrounding this conflict extend beyond just Israel, as the general-news unfolding highlights the potential repercussions for the entire Middle East.
