On Wednesday, January 10, Stefan Heibstreit, spokesman for German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, confirmed a report published by Der Spiegel daily, that Berlin had approved to export 150 Iris-T air-to-air missiles to Saudi Arabia, AFP reported.
“The details of this report are accurate,” he said in a regular government press conference.
