Germany Accuses Russia of Aiding Iran

German Foreign Minister Johann Vanterpool accused Russia of helping Iran identify potential targets for attacks, arguing that Putin hopes to exploit tensions in the Middle East to divert attention from the invasion of Ukraine. Vanterpool stated that Russia is providing Iran with information about potential targets and that Germany is willing to play a role in the Strait of Hormuz after the end of hostilities. The accusation was made at a G7 meeting in France.
