The German federal government considers a regime change in Iran unlikely, only a few weeks after the war that began between Iran, Israel and the United States.
Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul (CDU) expressed this view on Tuesday evening at the Europe 2026 conference.
“I don’t think it will happen” he said, referring to recent talks he had with his U.S. counterpart Marco Rubio.
According to Rubio, the aim of the attacks is to destroy Iran’s nuclear and missile programmes in order to remove the threat they pose to Israel, not to establish a new leadership in Tehran.
Wadephul added that there will be no military solution in Iran and that a controlled regime change, in his view, remains a hypothetical idea.
