A new exchange of threats is raising fears of further escalation in the Iran war.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz says the conflict has already cost Europe more than €100 billion in higher energy prices and insists it cannot be solved militarily.
Iran‘s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi responded with a warning of an “earth-shattering blow” and declared that “red lines are a thing of the past.”
DW speaks with Fawaz Gerges, Professor of Middle Eastern Politics at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), about what Tehran’s latest threats may signal.
