German Chancellor Merz says he has doubts over Iran war aims

By Rachel More and James MackenzieBERLIN, March 27 (Reuters) - Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Friday expressed scepticism that the United States and Israel had a clear strategy to end the war in Iran but he said Germany would in principle be ready to help stabilise the region after the end of hostilities.Since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on February 28, Iran has launched strikes against Israel, U.S. bases and Gulf states, as well as effectively blocking Middle East fuel exports via the Strait of Hormuz.
