"Iran cannot be an ally at this time, neither in the fight against terrorism nor as an oil supplier or trade partner," argues article in Bild, Germany's most-read daily newspaper.
A top German
newspaper on Tuesday called on the government in Berlin to suspend all
trade ties with Iran over its terrorism and its repeated called for
Israel's annihilation.
In an article in Germany's most widely read
daily newspaper Bild, Julian Roepcke, the paper's foreign news editor,
argued that Iran's missile strikes in Syria this weekend "under the
auspices of the 'war on terror' might sound good, but the opposite is
true. The missiles themselves are a message of terror, because they
carry inscriptions reading 'Death to Israel and 'Death to the USA' –
and that is deadly serious for the mullahs."
Iran's missiles, he continued "were not
fired against Islamic State, but rather against those who stand in the
way of the corrupt regime in Tehran, against those who do not want to
stand idly by as Iran's leaders, again and again, call for the
'extermination' of Israel. By the mullahs' crazy logic, ISIS is also
the creation of the heinous West, the U.S. and Israel," he wrote.
"Iran cannot be an ally at this time,
neither in the fight against terrorism nor as an oil supplier or
trade partner," Roepcke concluded.
The United States pulled out of a 2015
nuclear agreement with Iran earlier this year and subsequently
reimposed economic sanctions on the Islamic republic. Since then, the
European signatories to the accord – Britain, Germany and France – have
been trying to come up with ways to salvage the agreement, chiefly a mechanism that would allow for trade with Iran to continue despite the American sanctions.
The Bild is Germany's most widely
circulated daily, printing 2.7 million copies a day. Between its
various platforms, the paper, which is considered pro-Israel, has an
average daily readership of 12 million.
