German chancellor says no joint plan exists to quickly end Iran war

Mar 10, 2026, 12:43 GMT+0

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Tuesday that a dangerous escalation was underway in the Iran war, voicing concern over lack of a joint plan to bring it to a swift end.

"We are particularly concerned that there is clearly no joint plan for bringing this war to a swift and convincing end," Merz said at a press conference in Berlin. "We have no interest in a war without end. We have no interest in the dissolution of territorial integrity.”

He added that he shares US President Donald Trump’s hope that Iran war ends quickly, oil markets would normalize quickly and loosening sanctions on Russia are not considered.
