Loading ...Germany’s Merz Says US ‘Humiliated’ By Iranians & Trump Lacks Strategy, Exit Plan
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in a rare moment torched US foreign policy and the Trump administration’s Iran war gambit. There’s been plenty of criticism out of Europe since Operation Epic Fury kicked off on February 28, but Merz’s Monday words are especially direct and scathing.
He proclaimed that Iran’s leadership was embarrassing the US, claiming it was prompting US officials to travel to Pakistan and then return without achieving any outcome. “The Iranians are obviously very skilled at negotiating, or rather, very skillful at not negotiating, letting the Americans travel to Islamabad and then leave again without any result,” he said.
The top German official made the remarks before students in the town of Marsberg. His sharpest attack came in the following: “An entire nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership, especially by these so-called Revolutionary Guards. And so I hope that this ends as quickly as possible.”
