Since when has anybody been able to count on Germany? Their military is a complete joke and they havent done anything other than a couple of token deployments in which theyve done almost no actual fighting.
As for so-called constructive engagement with Iran.....I remember having this debate with one of my German professors when I was an exchange student (the first time) in Germany when Ivwas in college.
I graduated from college 25 years ago. Iran is still a menace to the whole region and is still a thuggish theocracy that oppresses its own people. Constructive engagement is just an excuse for pocketing as much profit as possible by German companies.
