German Chancellor Friedrich Merz praised Israeli airstrikes on Iranian targets during the G7 summit in Canada, calling the actions “dirty work” carried out on behalf of the West. His remarks come amid continued military exchanges between Tehran and West Jerusalem. “This is the dirty work that Israel is doing for all of us,” Merz said in an interview with German broadcaster ZDF. He added that Germany, like many Western states, is also a “victim” of Iran’s leadership.
