German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said on Monday that neither the United States nor Israel is pursuing regime change in Iran, citing recent statements by US Vice President J.D. Vince and Israeli officials.
Responding to a question regarding the possibility of a shift in Iran’s political leadership, Wadephul said, “on Both the United States and Israel have clearly stated that regime change is not their objective.”
He noted that Iran currently prefers to engage in talks with European nations but stressed that this approach is insufficient. “European officials have made it clear that meaningful progress cannot be achieved without the resumption of negotiations with the United States,” he said.
Wadephul’s comments come amid renewed diplomatic efforts to address mounting tensions over Iran’s nuclear programme and broader regional instability.
