Germany’s Merz tells Iran 'violence is a sign of weakness, not strength,' demands end
Reuters. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Monday (January 12) condemned “in the strongest possible terms” what he called the Iranian leadership’s violence directed at its own people.
"This violence is not a sign of strength, but rather a sign of weakness. The violence must end,” said Merz during a visit to India.
Unrest in Iran has killed more than 500 people, a rights group said on Sunday, as Tehran threatened to target U.S. military bases if President Donald Trump carries out threats to intervene on behalf of protesters.
