Germany’s Germany’s Left Party Vice President says Iran has never initiated a war during the whole modern history.In modern history, Iran has never started any war and the 8-year war with Iraq was imposed on the country by executed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and under the auspices of Western governments, IRNA cited Wagenknecht as saying in an interview with German magazine, Juedische Allgemeine, on Saturday.

The German politician criticized the West’s “double standards” and argued that while Western powers put pressure on Iran, they turn a blind eye to the “blatant violation of human rights in Saudi Arabia”and maintain the “best economic, political and military ties” with Riyadh and other authoritarian regimes in the Arab world.Wagenknecht also pointed to Israel’s efforts to instigate German officials to act against Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities.
