Disagreements over Iran — are the US and Germany still friends? | Berlin Briefing Podcast

From DW News.

As Washington pressures Europe over the Iran war, Germany is stuck between needing US support for Ukraine and not participating in the war in Iran, so basically a rock and a hard place. How has Berlin’s position evolved since the US and Israel launched their strikes and how is it affecting transatlantic relations? Host Max Hofmann speaks with Sudha David-Wilp (GMF), DW’s Michaela Küfner and Teri Schultz about the new relationship status of the US and Germany.
