"Russian-German Alliance Urges Caution Amid Iranian Threat in Middle East"

Russia and Germany are urging restraint in the Middle East as tensions rise over an Iranian threat to strike Israel following an airstrike on its embassy compound in Damascus. Iran has vowed revenge for the attack, escalating tension in a region already strained by the Gaza war. Israel is preparing to meet its security needs, while the U.S. has reaffirmed its commitment to Israel's security. Airlines, including Lufthansa, have suspended flights to Tehran, and Iran's airspace closure for military drills has caused disruptions for other carriers.
