German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Monday that the United States is being "humiliated" by Iran.
“An entire nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership, especially by these so-called Revolutionary Guards,” said Merz, while speaking to students in Marsberg, North Rhine-Westphalia.
The German Chancellor added that the Iranians are “obviously negotiating very skillfully” and “clearly stronger than one thought”.
“At the moment, I don’t see what exit strategy the Americans are choosing,” Merz was also quoted as saying.
