Merz: Iran humiliates US in stalled talks

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has publicly criticized Iran's diplomatic tactics, stating the Iranian leadership is humiliating the United States. He specifically pointed to U.S. officials traveling to Pakistan for talks, only to leave without achieving any results. The remarks come as diplomatic talks between the U.S. and Iran remain stalled, with the U.S. war effort facing increasing international scrutiny. Merz's unusually blunt rebuke highlights growing European concern over the direction and strategy of the conflict.
