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 Tehran for negotiations as an example of this dynamic. Merz's comments come as diplomatic talks between the US and Iran remain stalled, with President Trump convening a meeting to discuss options including potential military action. The German leader's remarks underscore the growing international concern over the escalating tensions and the perceived lack of a clear US strategy.
