Speaking to broadcaster Welt, Merz says the leadership in Tehran has been weakened by Israel’s attacks in the past few days.
“This regime is very weakened and will probably not return to its former strength, making the future of the country uncertain. We will have to wait and see,” he says.
He adds that the Europeans’ offer of diplomatic assistance, should talks resume, still stands as it did before the attacks.
“If a new situation were to arise, Germany, France and the United Kingdom would again be prepared to provide diplomatic assistance, as they were until last Thursday,” he says.
