Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Bagai criticized German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and his foreign minister for their position regarding the war between the US and Israel against Iran, recalling Merz's previous words that "Israel" is doing "the dirty work for us" by attacking Iran. In a post on X, Bagai said Meraz is now lamenting that the war has cost the European economy €100 billion, while his foreign minister seeks to justify military aggression against Iran. "He is so characterized by indifference and such moral decay that he does not recognize the human toll and the war crimes committed, nor does he understand the economic damage this war is causing to his country and Europe," Bagai wrote. Citing a German proverb that "out of harm comes wisdom", Bagai concluded with a sarcastic reference to "Hans Mbat Ba-e-Air", a character known for his lack of judgment, suggesting an inability to learn from past mistakes.
