Merz Warns of Economic Damage Due to ‘Endless’ War Against Iran

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz warned the US and Israel against waging an “endless war” against Iran that could lead to the disintegration of the whole Middle Eastern state, a new migration crisis in Europe and lasting economic damage.

“We do not want to experience a Syrian scenario here,” Merz said at a meeting of German industrial lobby groups in Munich Friday. The chancellor appealed instead to leaders in Washington and Israel “to create the conditions as soon as possible for this country to be stabilized.”
