    • Chancellor Merz distances himself following reports of US arms support to Kurdish militias in Iran.

    • He insists that Iran’s territorial integrity must be preserved and proxy wars prevented on its soil.

    • Concerns about an uncontrollable civil war and migration influence Germany’s cautious stance.

    • Despite talks with London and Paris, no joint E3 statement was issued immediately after Merz’s announcement.
      • The territorial integrity of Iran must be preserved; Iran must not become the theatre of proxy wars.
      — Chancellor Friedrich Merz expressed this stance in a statement on the Iran crisis and the war in the Middle East.
