Germany’s foreign minister stated that he emphasized in a call with his Iranian counterpart that Berlin and Washington have the “same goal.”
In the call, foreign minister Johann Wadephul stated he highlighted that Berlin advocates for a “negotiated solution.”
“Being a close ally of the US, we have a common objective: Iran must entirely and transparently reject nuclear arms and promptly allow access to the Strait of Hormuz,” Wadephul stated in a post on X today.
His statements connect Germany with the US during a period of diplomatic strain between the nations. President Donald Trump stated yesterday that the US intends to pull out “a lot more” than the initial 5,000 troops the Pentagon announced it would take out from Germany in the coming year.
This followed German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s criticism of what he termed a deficiency in American strategy to conclude the conflict, asserting that Iran was “humiliating” the US.
