Forecast Trend Report by Period
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz sharply criticized the U.S. handling of the war with Iran, exposing differences in views among Western allies.
Walter Bloomberg reported on April 27 that Merz said the U.S. had entered the conflict without a clear exit strategy, making the situation more difficult.
He said Iran was deftly avoiding negotiations while outmaneuvering U.S. diplomacy, and called the current situation “humiliating.”
Merz also likened the situation to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, underscoring the risks of entering a conflict without a strategy.
Germany, meanwhile, said it is prepared to support the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz after the fighting ends and could participate in mine-clearing operations.
