German economy struggles in 2023 amid sanctions and inflation woes

In 2023, Germany's economy contracted by 0.3 percent, the Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) reported. The downturn was influenced by high inflation impacting consumer spending and a decrease in global demand, impacting Germany's industrial sector. A significant factor in the economic decline was the EU's sanctions against Russia, which particularly affected Germany's energy sector leading to higher costs and reduced output.

The economic challenges were compounded by rising interest rates from the European Central Bank, leading to tighter financing conditions. Household consumption fell by 0.8 percent due to the increased cost of living, and government spending decreased for the first time in nearly two decades.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) took responsibility on Tuesday for missile attacks on Iraqi Kurdistan’s capital of Erbil, claiming that it targeted bases of anti-Iranian terrorist groups.

Earlier in the day, a security source in Iraq told Sputnik that several explosions occurred in Erbil near the US Consulate General and Erbil International Airport.

"In response to the recent terrorist attacks by Iran's enemies, spy headquarters and enemy headquarters of anti-Iran terrorist groups in parts of the Middle East region were attacked with several IRGC ballistic missiles," the IRGC was quoted as saying by the Tasnim news agency.


The report added that the IRGC fired ballistic missiles at one of the main headquarters of the Israeli Secret Intelligence Service (Mossad) in Iraqi Kurdistan and destroyed it. The headquarters was reportedly the center for developing special operations and planning terrorist attacks in the Middle East region, in particular in Iran.
