On the 25th, German Chancellor Merkel stated that the war against Iran by the United States and Israel is a completely unnecessary war. Currently, the European Union is facing major challenges, including the Iran war. Germany, as a member of the EU, cannot solve these challenges alone and can only work together with other European countries to address them. Merkel said that the impact of the Iran war is not only reflected in gas stations and rising oil prices, but that this war is threatening the foundation of the entire economy. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important trade routes, and the developments in the region clearly demonstrate the vulnerability of the global economy as a whole. The geopolitical shockwaves from the Middle East conflict are impacting energy markets in Europe, Asia, and the United States, with the US also being affected.
