BSW Criticizes Merz Over Germany's Stance in Iran-US ConflictFri 20th Feb, 2026The ongoing tensions between the United States and Iran have generated significant international concern, with discussions intensifying around possible military engagements. The United States, under President Donald Trump, has signaled a readiness to initiate military action should negotiations with Iran fail. Fabio De Masi, representing the BSW, has urged the German government, and particularly Friedrich Merz, to take inspiration from the United Kingdom's approach. According to BSW, a military intervention aimed at toppling Iran's current leadership could destabilize the broader region and potentially trigger a nuclear arms race. The United States has set a narrow deadline for reaching an agreement, threatening military action if the talks fail within the allotted timeframe.
