German Chancellor Friedrich Merz declared Tuesday that the Iranian regime is on the verge of collapsing, urging the country’s ruling clerics to end their brutal crackdown on protesters and find a peaceful way to exit power.“If a regime can only stay in power through violence, then it is effectively finished. I assume that we are now witnessing the final days and weeks of this regime,” Merz told a news conference during a visit to India.
“I hope there is a way to end this conflict peacefully. The mullah regime has to recognize that as well,” Merz added.
Merz’s comments came a week after President Donald Trump warned he might take action to stop Tehran from killing the protesters who have spread their movement nationwide during a dramatic two weeks.
Trump escalated the pressure on Monday, proposing a 25% tariff on any country that does business with Iran’s regime.
Activists say at least 600 protesters have been killed and thousands arrested in the crackdown by Iran’s ruling mullahs.
