06/15/2026 June 15, 2026 Iran-US deal a 'disaster,' says CDU foreign policy expert A foreign policy expert from Chancellor Friedrich Merz's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) said the agreement reached between the US and Iran to end the war between them is a "disaster." According to Roderich Kiesewetter, the deal "indirectly props up" Russian President Vladimir Putin's war machine and "leaves the door wide open for Iran to develop a nuclear bomb." "This is a disaster for the people of Iran," he said, also criticizing US President Donald Trump. "As soon as a brutal regime makes threats, he caves in and sacrifices long-term security interests for a quick PR win." Chancellor Merz, however, showed support of the deal, emphasizing its potential economic benefits. "The agreement has the potential to pave the way towards a reinvigorated global economy and a more secure Middle East," Merz said in a statement.
