“The Iranians are clearly stronger than expected & the Americans clearly have no truly convincing strategy.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in a rare moment torched US foreign policy and the Trump administration’s Iran war gambit. There’s been plenty of criticism out of Europe since Operation Epic Fury kicked off on February 28, but Merz’s Monday words are especially direct and scathing.

He proclaimed that Iran’s leadership was embarrassing the US, claiming it was prompting US officials to travel to Pakistan and then return without achieving any outcome. “The Iranians are obviously very skilled ?at negotiating, or rather, very skillful at not negotiating, letting the Americans travel to Islamabad and then leave again without any result,” he said.
