i don’t see it mentioned anywhere except a website called ‘iranpress’. here’s their about page:

not conclusive enough for me to say whether it is trustworthy or not, so i’m taking this story with a hand grenade sized grain of salt. if anyone had other sources or info i’m interested in seeing them though
small nitpick that’s not relevant to the news, but the German Empire was much more gung ho about war than the Austrians, and the German military invested a lot of time and resources towards trying to sway the Austro-Hungarian nobility to come around on war. Israel is a tail that is skilled at wagging the dog, but Austria was a more traditional attached-to-the-ass tail that doesn’t call the shots.
