Germany reaffirms US ties, says Iran must not acquire nuclear weapons
Friedrich Merz said Germany remains closely aligned with the United States and shares Washington’s core objective that Iran must not obtain nuclear weapons.
“The United States is and will remain Germany’s most important partner in the North Atlantic Alliance,” Merz said in a post on X, adding: “We share a common goal: Iran must not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons.”
His remarks come amid visible strain in transatlantic relations over the war and diplomacy with Iran, even as both sides continue to emphasize the importance of coordination within NATO.
