🇩🇪🇮🇷 German Chancellor Merz says that the war in Iran dealt a huge economic blow to Europe and it must stop:.
"We now have costs in excess of €100 billion for Europe alone over the last eight months, purely because of the increase in energy prices caused by this conflict.
More than 100 billion euros have been paid by businesses and consumers in Europe because energy has been regulated as a result of this conflict.
We have an economic interest in ending this conflict as quickly as possible."
