Meeting with King Abdullah II of Jordan on Thursday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel called for tough action in response to destabilizing Iranian activities. It’s the height of hypocrisy.

Merkel claimed that “Iran’s aggressive tendencies must not only be discussed, but rather we need solutions urgently … we see Iran’s activities with regard to Israel’s security and with regard to Jordan’s border.” Those are good words, except for the fact that Merkel’s government enables the hardliners aligned with the Iranian revolutionary guards.
