The U.S. is being ¡°humiliated¡± by Iranian leaders as U.S. President Donald Trump struggles to negotiate an end to the war, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said in comments that risk driving a further wedge in transatlantic relations.
In unusually candid terms, the German leader said he didn¡¯t see ¡°what strategic exit the Americans are now choosing,¡± adding that Tehran¡¯s negotiators are proceeding ¡°very skilfully ¡ª or indeed very skilfully not negotiating.¡±
The result is that an ¡°entire nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership, particularly by these so-called Revolutionary Guards,¡± Merz told a group of students at a secondary school in western Germany on Monday.
