(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Ali Assaray said these arms are being used to kill unarmed anti-government protesters in Saudi Arabia and neighboring Bahrain.
His remarks come in the wake of major public criticism over Berlin's reported planned sale of hundreds of Leopard 2 combat tanks to Saudi Arabia.
A wide majority of Germans strongly oppose the sale of hundreds of German-made battle tanks to Saudi Arabia, according to a recent poll published by the Hamburg-based weekly news magazine stern.
Some 75 percent of those questioned rejected the planned sale of up to 800 combat tanks Arab regime, while only 20 percent approved the deal.
Germany's government has refused to comment on a recent press report that said Riyadh is to purchase 600 to 800 Leopard 2 combat tanks, not 200 to 300 as reported a year ago.
A sale of the Leopard 2 tanks by German arms manufacturer, Kraus-Maffei Wegmann (KMW), would require green light by the top-secret National Security Council, headed by Chancellor Angela Merkel.
German peace, church and labor union organizations have joined opposition parties in protesting the sale of tanks to Riyadh, whose worth is estimated at 10 billion euros.
They have expressed strong concern over the highly secretive nature of the arms sale, saying these tanks could be used to crush internal dissent in either Saudi Arabia or Bahrain where Riyadh played a key role in smashing a popular rebellion in March, 2011.
Weapons from Germany have been massively deployed in the Middle East and North Africa to stifle peaceful protests, according to a report published by the London-based human rights watchdog Amnesty International (AI).
German weapon exports included small firearms, ammunition and military vehicles which were used to squash demonstrations.
