Merz has said the conflict had cost Europe more than 100 billion euros over the past eight months, attributing the figure solely to rising energy prices.
Araghchi recalled that when U.S. and Israeli bombing of Iran began last year, Merz hailed the attacks, saying: “They are doing Europe's dirty work.”
The Iranian foreign minister stressed that 100 billion euros was insignificant compared with the devastating blow Iran’s powerful Armed Forces would deliver to anyone who dared harm the Iranian people.
