Germany has ruled out joining the United States and Israel in their expanding military campaign against Iran, marking a significant moment in the widening Middle East conflict. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul stated that the country does not have the necessary military resources and has no intention of participating in strikes against Tehran. His remarks came amid reports suggesting Berlin had been weighing possible involvement if Iran continued attacks across the region. The decision follows a similar stance by the United Kingdom, which declined to join offensive strikes while allowing limited defensive cooperation.
