BREAKING: Trump Slams German Chancellor Merz Over Iran War Remarks in Fiery Response

According to a report by Anadolu Agency on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, US President Donald Trump has strongly criticised German Chancellor Friedrich Merz following his comments on the ongoing tensions surrounding Iran, escalating diplomatic friction between Washington and Berlin.

In a post shared on his Truth Social platform on Tuesday, Trump accused Merz of holding what he described as a dangerously misguided position on Iran’s nuclear programme. The US president claimed that the German leader appeared to believe “it’s OK for Iran to have a nuclear weapon,” adding bluntly: “He doesn’t know what he’s talking about!”

Trump’s remarks came in response to recent statements by Merz, who on Monday criticised Iran’s leadership for allegedly undermining diplomatic efforts involving the United States. Merz argued that Iranian authorities had repeatedly engaged US officials in unproductive negotiations, suggesting that the process had become embarrassing for Washington.

The German chancellor also raised concerns about the broader direction of US policy toward the Iran conflict, questioning what he described as an unclear strategy for resolving the crisis. His comments were interpreted as part of a wider European unease over the handling of international negotiations involving Tehran.

The exchange has further exposed growing divisions between the United States and its European allies, particularly within NATO, where disagreements over Iran’s nuclear ambitions are increasingly becoming a point of contention. These tensions are unfolding alongside other major transatlantic disputes, including differing approaches to the war in Ukraine, defence spending commitments, and long-term security policy in Europe.

Observers say the public nature of the disagreement between Trump and Merz is notable, marking one of the most direct and forceful confrontations between Washington and Berlin in recent months. While US and German officials have often differed on foreign policy matters, such personal and public criticism is relatively rare at the leadership level.

The Iran issue remains a sensitive geopolitical flashpoint, with Western governments divided over how best to contain Tehran’s nuclear programme while avoiding further escalation in the Middle East.


Favor As Higher Power?

(The hidden truth)

Some positions in life cannot be held or retained for long if you are not favored. Favor is higher power. You are not the only one desiring, deserving, connected, powerful or qualified. Some positions in life, opportunities, success, achievements, triumphs, selection, approvals, power and position, elevation, patronage, etc, are mainly through favor. Favor is silent, spiritual and higher power. For spiritual guidance, other solutions, call/Whatsapp Dr J.A. Faros on 07030514063. With God, all are possible.
