The foreign minister of Germany was criticized on Monday after he expressed disapproval of the sabotaging over the weekend of Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility, which has been widely attributed to Israel.
The details of the Natanz incident remain unclear, but reports indicate that it involved a systemic power failure caused by a massive cyber-attack, resulting in serious damage to the facility. There were no casualties in the incident.
On Monday, the Associated Press reported that German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said the Natanz incident was “not a positive contribution” to the diplomatic process underway in Vienna, where the US and Iran are holding indirect talks on a possible return to the 2015 nuclear deal from which former president Donald Trump withdrew in 2018.
Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, criticized Maas and the diplomatic process, telling The Algemeiner, “Foreign Minister Maas is 100% correct. The sabotage won’t help talks whose main agenda is to get rid of tough sanctions on Iran.”
“This is a regime that has violated the nuclear agreement time and time again, threatens genocide against Israel, poses an existential threat to the Gulf States, and blatantly puts in place a spy/terror network across Europe,” he noted of Iran.
“The sabotage at the nuclear facility was only necessary because European powers have blinked every time Tehran advances its nuclear weapons development,” Cooper asserted. “Germany has made it abundantly clear that its deep economic ties with Iran override all other concerns.”
Hillel Neuer, head of the NGO UN Watch, also criticized Maas, saying, “While the foreign minister speaks officially for the German government, I know many German people who do understand the murderous nature of the Iranian regime and think otherwise than Mr. Heiko Maas.”
Meanwhile, the Biden administration appeared to back away from the fallout over the Natanz incident.
According to Axios, a senior White House official said, “We have seen reports of an incident at the Natanz enrichment facility in Iran. The United States had no involvement, and we have nothing to add to speculation about the causes.”
Gee, this sounds so familiar.
He sounds like one one of our rhinos
Germany has always had a special relationship with Muslims and I have read somewhere that they did somethings to Jews in the past.

How long until the mullahs invite him to visit?
That’s a matter of opinion.
The German Foreign Minister is not a prophet. He might even be politically biased and inadequately objective to make a good guess. No one knows what the future outcome of the facility’s failure will be for sure.
“According to Axios, a senior White House official said, “We have seen reports of an incident at the Natanz enrichment facility in Iran. The United States had no involvement, and we have nothing to add to speculation about the causes.””
For once they’re telling the truth here - there is no way that Israel will trust a Democrat administration, considering what Obama’s Jew-haters did to them.

But very appropriate and quite necessary, considering how weak the leaders of the west are.
Speaking truth to idiot Germans....
“Germany has always had a special relationship with Muslims”
In a previous existence, I was involved with the relatively successful development of an electronic subsurface exploration system which I would probably describe as a low frequency ground penetrating radar. Its readings readings of interest result from differences in electrical conductivity in the zone of influence of a radiated signal. Its sort of a metal detector.
I didn’t have any real money and they moved on to other sources. After Y2K, I discovered that they did the subsoil searches under contract with the UN weapons inspectors in Iraq a few years previously.
They found a number of interesting buried things in the desert, including obvious machinery and parts on pallets to process uranium for whatever.
Among my questions was, “Where was the source of these materials?”
Answer - Germany and France.
The also mentioned that the desert was a pristine environment for measurements, but that their stuff would disappear and show up in the market the next day.
