After Iran fired 330 missiles and drones at Israeli targets on Saturday night, fears of a military escalation in the Middle East are growing.The attack marks a turning point in the escalating conflict and brings the two arch-enemies to the brink of war. In an interview with the FR, Urlich Schlie assumes that there could be an appropriate Israeli counter-attack. As a means of de-escalation, Germany must do everything in its power to formulate a unified response from the European Union. Overall, this would require a completely new security policy approach.
