Germany’s Merz turns against Trump over the war in Iran.

Last week, the chancellor told the US president he was fully aligned on toppling the regime in Tehran.

But his tone on the war is now souring sharply.

@mf_newsdigest Germany already lost Nordstream during start of #ukraine war and because of the bombing of #nordstream was then forced to buy LNG from America at significantly higher prices.

With #iran bombing Gulf oil and gas facilities, every country is forced to buy from America. This #iranwar creates a US monopoly on energy. That's the goal.

And it makes sense for there to be division amongst allies when they and their populations get financially exploited by a "friend"

Still no actual condemnation even less so of the obvious Gazaification of the region BTW.
And, well, Ramstein...
