It is noted that Merz's statement came after the NATO member states' military exercises "Cold Response" in northern Norway and Finland.
If Iran's territorial integrity or statehood collapses, or if Iran is no longer economically viable, this will have serious consequences for us as well. Therefore, we need a good prospect for a peaceful settlement.
He stressed that Germany shares "important goals of the US and Israel."
"We are doing everything possible through diplomatic means. We are using all diplomatic channels and hope to find ways to end this war as soon as possible, because it serves no one and harms many economically. It also harms us. Iran should not pose a threat to Israel and other neighbors. But with each day this war continues, more and more questions arise. And one thing is becoming increasingly clear: we need a convincing plan for how this war can end," Merz summarized.
Recall
In early March, Friedrich Merz supported the actions of the US and Israel against the Iranian leadership. He stated that the current Iranian regime is terrorist.
