Willinger stated during the broadcast from the Iranian capital, Tehran. Regarding Nasrallah’s death, she said: “This is of course the worst scenario, one could say, for the entire Middle East. Of course it will have an impact on the whole world.”
ARD correspondent warns of backlash from Iran
An ARD correspondent warns that Iran is now forced to attack again as a result of the attack on the terrorist. She is now receiving a lot of criticism on social media for her wording. One X website user described Willinger’s statement as “absolute nonsense” and stressed that Nasrallah was responsible for the deaths of many people. Other users also disputed this and accused Willinger of not mentioning Nasrallah’s crimes.
In X, Willinger defended herself against the allegations and said her statements were taken out of context. She explained: “I am talking about the fact that the conflict will expand now, and above all, the possibility of Iran launching a direct attack has increased.”
Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock also warned of a setback for Iran. She said in the “Report Berlin” program broadcast by the ARD channel that there is now a threat to “destabilize all of Lebanon,” which is “not in the interest of Israel’s security in any way.”
