"Dodging a Third World War" - Wagenknecht Warns on US-Israel Intervention against Iran
Servant warns of imminent Third World War
Facebook Twitter Whatsapp E-Mail Print Copy Link Tensions are mounting as Trump considers a US-Israel alliance to dismantle Iran's nuclear program, potentially leading to a larger-scale conflict. Sahra Wagenknecht, BSW leader, blasts Merz for his lack of diplomacy.
Politician Sahra Wagenknecht, at the helm of BSW, has unleashed warnings about a potential escalation of Israel's war against Iran. In an interview with "Der Spiegel," Wagenknecht voiced her concern: "With the USA entering the fray, there's a risk of an expansion to a third world war."
President Trump is reportedly pondering action within the next fortnight concerning possible involvement in the Israeli conflict against Iran. This comes in the wake of a "promising chance" for potential negotiations with Iran, or not, as per White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt during a recent press conference.
Meanwhile, Wagenknecht targets CDU's federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz, criticizing his use of the "dirty work" phrase. Wagenknecht lashed out: "It's reckless that Merz continues to employ this divisive expression, glorifying actions that disregard international law and instigate war aimed at toppling an undesirable regime." Such strategies, Wagenknecht contends, have already "spectacularly backfired" in Iraq and Libya.
In a ZDF interview on the sidelines of the Canadian G7 summit, Merz used the phrase "dirty work," stating, "It's the dirty work that Israel is carrying out for all of us." Merz went on to praise Israel for its courage in taking such military action, expressing that other outcomes could have included "months and years more of this regime's terrorism, and then perhaps even armed with a nuclear weapon." This statement sparked a flurry of criticism from across the political spectrum.
Wagenknecht thus labels Merz's stance as "irresponsible" for downplaying the risks of an escalation and overlooking the potential consequences for Germany, including a substantial refugee influx surpassing the crisis of 2015/16. Wagenknecht urges Germany, in tandem with France and other European nations, to pursue diplomatic avenues to discourage Trump from intervening in Iran.
The specific standpoints of Sahra Wagenknecht and Friedrich Merz on this matter, as per current search results, are not addressed. Their views on the diplomatic endeavors or potential military actions surrounding Iran's nuclear program remain unclear.

The Commission is also proposing to extend the scope of the programme to include the following areas: wars and conflicts, politics, and general news, given the escalating tensions between Donald Trump, Israel, and Iran, with Sahra Wagenknecht advocating for diplomacy to discourage Trump's potential military intervention in Iran, while Friedrich Merz has been criticized for downplaying the risks and overlooking potential consequences, such as a significant refugee influx similar to the crisis of 2015/16.
