Alemanha deve dar apoio comedido à operação no Irã
·6 min
The episode begins with an ad for American Career College before transitioning to international news. German Chancellor Friedrich Schmerz is in Washington for his second White House visit since taking office 10 months ago. Initially focused on trade tariffs, the meeting's main topic becomes the American and Israeli attack on Iran over the weekend. Correspondent Gabriel Bruch in Düsseldorf provides analysis. Schmerz adopts a comedic, skeptical posture toward the US operation, calling the Ayatollah regime terrorist and noting Iran's support for Russia in Ukraine. He expresses uncertainty about promoting political change through military attacks, referencing Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya. Germany's Foreign Minister Johann Waddenful clarifies that Germany will not get directly involved. The episode discusses how international law has little effect, with both Iran and the US-Israel ignoring rules. The Iran conflict ironically cools tensions from a trade war, where Schmerz had planned tough answers on tariffs. Germany was informed of the attack beforehand, unlike a previous strike on Iranian nuclear installations. The meeting also covers the Ukraine war, with Schmerz seeking German and EU participation in ceasefire negotiations. He states that additional diplomacy with Russia is useless due to Putin's disinterest. The episode concludes with a repeat of the ad and credits to correspondents.
