Berlin : Germany’s Chancellor has raised sharp concerns over the direction of the Iran war, questioning Washington’s strategy and warning that Tehran appears stronger than previously assessed. Friedrich Merz said he does not see what exit strategy the United States is pursuing in the conflict, adding that the situation is becoming increasingly complex.
Merz said, At the moment, I don’t see what exit strategy the Americans are choosing,” signalling unease in Berlin over how the war could unfold. He also delivered a strong criticism of Iran’s leadership, saying, An entire nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership, especially by these so-called Revolutionary Guards. The German Chancellor suggested that Iran’s position in the conflict may have been underestimated. His remarks come amid growing concern in Europe over how the conflict could reshape regional power dynamics.
Merz also pointed to risks around the Strait of Hormuz, saying the critical shipping lane is “partially mined”, a development that could have serious implications for global energy supply and trade. The Strait of Hormuz is a key route for global oil shipments, and any disruption there has immediate economic consequences worldwide. Urging restraint, Merz said the conflict should be brought to an end as quickly as possible, citing its direct impact on Germany’s economy.
