Chancellor Scholz: We Don't Want to See Syria Scenarios Replicated in Iran

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz stated that Germany does not want to see scenarios like those that unfolded in Syria replicated in Iran. He emphasized the need to maintain Iran's state sovereignty and called on Washington and Israel to create conditions for stabilizing the country through a democratic and legitimate government. Scholz stated that avoiding new migration flows from the region is in Germany's interest, given Iran's population of 90 million.
