#1 The German & European political class have some experience crafting non-violent suicide pacts, namely the Euro. Their endorsement of this madness is no surprise.

In reality a nuclear Iran is a strategic nightmare especially for non-nuclear Germany.

Iran does have a history of responding aggressively to diplomatic outreach by Germany which Iran correctly interpreted a gesture of weakness.

Iran responded with exploratory aggression against Germany.

See e.g. this and especially this 1987 rehearsal for the Rushdie crisis.
