Friedrich Merz has sharply criticized the approach of Donald Trump to the ongoing tensions with Iran, saying Washington lacks a clear strategy. Speaking at a public event, Merz warned that entering a conflict without a defined exit plan risks long-term consequences. He argued that the United States is being outmaneuvered diplomatically, with Iran gaining leverage as negotiations stall.
Merz also drew comparisons to past US military engagements in Afghanistan and Iraq, where prolonged conflicts highlighted the dangers of unclear objectives. His remarks come amid growing international concern over escalating tensions and uncertainty around future negotiations.
