Germany is permitting the US to use Ramstein Air Base for drone and missile operations against Iran, which has drawn criticism from opposition politicians concerned about potential retaliation. US President Trump praised German Chancellor Merz for this cooperation. The German government asserts that the base's use complies with international law, despite past criticisms of US drone strikes. The base, located in Rhineland-Palatinate, is the largest US Air Force base outside the US and operates under special legal regulations. Germany is also considering sending a warship to the eastern Mediterranean but insists it will not participate in the war. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
