German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has warned that if the ongoing war continues for an extended period, it could pose a serious threat to Europe’s security and regional stability, according to Al Jazeera. He stated that a prolonged conflict could also endanger the security of Israel and its partner countries in the Middle East.

Merz further noted that continuing the war serves no one’s interest and could jeopardize Iran’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. He cautioned that instability in Iran might undermine Europe’s energy security and trigger an uncontrolled wave of migration.

The Chancellor’s remarks highlight growing concerns in Europe about the broader geopolitical and economic consequences of the conflict, particularly its potential to disrupt energy supplies and regional balance.
