SUMMARY

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz declared the United States is being “humiliated” by Iran.

Speaking during a school visit in western Germany on Monday, Merz said Washington “quite obviously went into this war without any strategy” and had “no truly convincing strategy in the negotiations either.”

The Iranians were “obviously negotiating very skilfully — or simply very skilfully not negotiating,” he added. “A whole nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership.”

Merz warned he sees “no exit strategy” to end the Middle Eastern conflict anytime soon. He noted the Iranians are “obviously stronger than expected.”
