Germany's Merz questions US strategy in Iran war, says nation 'humiliated'

Germany's Merz questions US strategy in Iran war, says nation 'humiliated' German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Monday he does not see what exit strategy the US has in the Iran war, warning "an entire nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership". Speaking to students in Marsberg, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Merz said the Iranians are "obviously negotiating very skillfully" and "clearly stronger than one thought," and urged that the conflict be ended as quickly as possible due to its direct impact on Germany's economy.
