German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz announced on Friday, November 8, at a press conference in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, that the German government is coordinating and strengthening diplomatic efforts to end the Iran war as soon as possible. According to the AFP news agency, Mertes emphasized the need for a peaceful solution to this conflict and said: "I ask all parties involved to note that this conflict has no military solution and must be resolved through diplomacy and dialogue." He added that this issue also relates to Israel and the future government of this country. Referring to Berlin's good relations with Israel and the countries of the Persian Gulf, the German Chancellor said: "We are coordinating and strengthening our diplomatic efforts from different directions so that this conflict ends as soon as possible." He also emphasized that Germany is in contact with the countries of the region and is trying to resolve the war peacefully. Referring to the economic consequences of the Iran war on Europe, Mertes announced that the increase in energy prices in the last eight months has cost Europe more than 100 billion euros. He added that European countries also want the end of this war as soon as possible from an economic point of view. These statements were made as speculation about the possibility of new US strikes in Iran increased after the country's congressional elections on Tuesday, November 3. Last Friday, United States President Donald Trump, referring to the joint military operation of the United States and Israel against Iran, raised the possibility of carrying out a similar operation, but did not announce a specific date for it.
