BERLIN — German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said Tuesday that he is increasingly worried about the apparent lack of a strategy by the U.S. and Israel for winding down their war on Iran. “What concerns us most is that there is clearly no common plan for bringing this war to a swift and convincing conclusion,” Merz said in the chancellery. “We have no interest in an endless war.” Merz’s comments come as America and Israel continue to strike Iran, while Tehran has been retaliating against countries around the Gulf, as the spiraling regional conflict roils global energy markets. This story is…

Germany is allowing the United States to use Ramstein Air Base to coordinate drone and missile strikes against Iran, drawing criticism from opposition politicians who warn the facility could become a target for retaliation, while authorities say it is all by the book. US President Donald Trump praised German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at the White House for permitting American forces to operate from German territory, unlike other European countries. “We appreciate that, and they simply provide a pleasant environment,” Trump said. “We’re not asking them to send troops or anything like that.” Ramstein Air Base in Rhineland-Palatinate serves as the…

Doctored videos impersonating Euronews and other major media outlets have been used to spread false claims about the war in the Middle East, shared across social media and relayed by the pro-Kremlin Pravda network. According to researchers from the Antibot4Navalny collective, the campaign is tied to the Russia-linked “Matryoshka” operation, which carries out mass, coordinated disinformation campaigns across social media and online, targeting Ukraine and the West. Researchers say the campaign is not directly focused on the Middle East war, but that the crisis has been used to push unrelated narratives to tarnish the West. This includes presenting Ukrainians as…

If you’ve ever visited Tokyo, or are planning an upcoming trip, there’s a good chance you will have come across the work of international art collective teamLab. The group’s exhibitions, which see visitors walk (or in some cases splash) through rooms filled with colourful projections and art you can interact with, are pure social media fodder. Tickets can sell out months in advance, and teamLab has long since expanded from its base in Japan’s capital with openings in destinations across Asia including Osaka, Kyushu, Macao, Abu Dhabi and Jeddah. Now there’s another museum in the pipeline, and this time it’s…

The campaign, he said, has benefited Russia’s war in Ukraine “by flouting international law,” driving up energy prices and diverting military assets that could otherwise have been sent to support Kyiv. Oil prices spiked in the wake of the aerial campaign, with crude briefly rising beyond $100 a barrel earlier this week and analysts warning it would help the Kremlin plug holes in its wartime budget.

Only international law upholds them.” Instead, he said, the rules-based international…
