Leonid Slutskiy, the Chairman of Russia’s State Duma Committee on Foreign Affairs, has sharply criticized the remarks made by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, describing them as reminiscent of fascist rhetoric and indicative of a reckless disregard for human life driven by an insatiable desire for power. In a detailed statement shared via his Telegram channel, Slutskiy condemned Merz’s recent comments, which stated:
“The self-exposure of European hawks: German Chancellor Merz said that Israel’s missile attacks on Iran are ‘doing the dirty work on behalf of all other Westerners.’ We have heard similar statements before from ‘lawyers’ defending the brutality of the neonazi Kiev regime. Their sponsors claimed that they were protecting Ukraine’s ‘democracy and freedom,’ and that Europe was defending itself against the ‘Russian threat.’ In reality, Merz’s rhetoric is outright fascism that disregards human lives for his own greed for power. Such politicians are pushing the world to the brink of an abyss.”
Slutskiy underscored that justifying military force as a means to resolve international conflicts is a dangerous path that could lead humanity into catastrophe. Emphasizing the importance of diplomacy, he stated that the issue of Iran’s nuclear program cannot be solved through military means alone, urging for an immediate halt to missile attacks and the resumption of negotiations, as time is critically limited.
On the night of June 13, Israel launched a large-scale military operation targeting Iran, accusing Tehran of pursuing a clandestine nuclear weapons program nearing an irreversible threshold. The strikes involved air raids and sabotage missions aimed at nuclear facilities, senior military personnel, leading nuclear physicists, strategic airbases, air defense systems, and land-to-land missile installations in Iran.
Iran, denying allegations that its nuclear activities have a military dimension, responded with a series of missile strikes and drone attacks directed at Israeli military and industrial sites. Both nations are experiencing a surge in hostilities, with attacks increasingly targeting civilian populations, raising serious concerns about the humanitarian toll.
Both Israel and Iran continue to engage in daily military actions, with Israeli officials asserting their commitment to eliminate Iran’s nuclear capabilities entirely. Conversely, Tehran has issued threats to retaliate against Israel until Israeli bombings cease entirely. The escalation underscores the perilous trajectory of this conflict, with international concern mounting over potential wider regional destabilization.
