Merz slams US war on Iran, cites lack of strategy

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz ramped up criticism of the US war against Iran during a town hall speech in Marsberg. He argued that Washington launched the conflict without a coherent strategy and is now struggling to find an exit. Merz also noted that Iran has proven stronger than anticipated, inflicting 'humiliation' on the United States. His comments underscore a deepening rift between Europe and the Trump administration over the war.
