Berlin, August 09: A number of scholars at Germany’s Peace Movement have called upon Berlin officials to employ all available means to prevent an Israeli strike on Iran.
The prominent figures related the recent movement of Israeli missiles to their operational locations, the deployment of German-made Dolphin-class submarines in the Red Sea as well as the Israeli army’s big war game over Nevada to Tel Aviv’s plans to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities.
The intellectuals meanwhile shed light upon remarks made by the US Vice President Joe Biden in his interview with ABC, suggesting that Washington will not stand in Israel’s way should it choose to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities. They warned that such comments point out that the Israeli regime has been given the go-ahead to bomb Iran.
In their opinion, an Israeli attack on Iran would have serious repercussions on the Middle East and dramatically increase the scope of extremism and fundamentalism in the region.
Israel, the sole possessor of a nuclear arsenal in the Middle East, has frequently hinted at its determination to terminate Iran’s nuclear activities even by means of a military strike.
Israel, the US and their European allies — Britain, France and Germany — accuse Iran of covertly seeking to build nuclear weapons, an allegation that Tehran vehemently denies.
The Islamic Republic of Iran insists its nuclear activities are merely aimed at using the civilian applications of the technology and generating electricity in a bid to meet its soaring energy demands.
