The text discusses Germany's lack of strategic raw material reserves, its dependence on imports, and the impact of the Middle East crisis on global energy markets.
Overall, the claims about Germany's raw material reserves, oil imports, and energy crisis connections to Iran demonstrate varied levels of veracity based on available evidence. Germany has limited domestic raw materials and relies mainly on imports, which aligns with the claim about lacking reserves except for oil. The energy crisis connected to Iran is confirmed as impactful, but the exact causal relationship may be oversimplified in the claim. The claim about Qatar halting LNG due to Iranian attacks is supported by available evidence.

Mostly True
Economy
Germany has virtually no reserve of the most important raw materials except for oil.
Germany imports most of its raw materials due to limited domestic resources, supporting the claim it lacks significant reserves. Key minerals like coal are produced, but overall reserves are minimal, especially for critical materials.

The energy crisis is caused by the war in Iran.
The evidence indicates the war in Iran significantly affects the global energy market, but attributing the entire energy crisis solely to the war oversimplifies the situation. Other factors like sanctions also contribute.

Germany imported 4.4% of its total oil from the Middle East in 2020 and 6.1% in 2025.
Evidence of specific percentages for 2020 and 2025 imports from the Middle East is lacking. General import data suggests a diversification of suppliers but does not specify these figures.
