War on Iran launched on 'dubious basis' under international law, Germany says

War on Iran launched on 'dubious basis' under international law, Germany says German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said the war on Iran “was launched on a dubious basis under international law” and urged a swift end to the conflict, according to the dpa news agency. Speaking in Panama City, Steinmeier described the war as “politically disastrous” and warned that further escalation would be equally dangerous. “We should therefore bring the hostilities to an end as soon as possible and, above all, work toward that goal with all parties involved,” he said.
