Analysis: Does Germany's Pro-Iran Deal Diplomatic Offensive Endanger Israel?
2015-08-09
[Jpost]
Of course it does. But apparently Germany promises to protect Israel, though the method of that protection is not made clear. And in the meantime, Germany is in discussions with Iran to sell them all sorts of things (Jobs! and profits!!) in exchange for Iranian oil.
Bored with meaningless diplomatic intrigues? Follow the money.

#1  The German & European political class have some experience crafting non-violent suicide pacts, namely the Euro. Their endorsement of this madness is no surprise.

In reality a nuclear Iran is a strategic nightmare especially for non-nuclear Germany.

Iran does have a history of responding aggressively to diplomatic outreach by Germany which Iran correctly interpreted a gesture of weakness.

In 1984 German foreign minister Genscher was the first Western visitor in Teheran after 1979.

Iran responded with exploratory aggression against Germany.

See e.g. this and especially this 1987 rehearsal for the Rushdie crisis.
