Iran is the fourth power today, Germany must share this position at-least

The 12 days war in June 2025 and the 40 days war fought between US & Israel Combo with Iran that predicated on 7-4-2025 via a vague ceasefire consolidated Iran as the fourth largest power not only in terms of military but in the area of geoeconomics. What can Germany do? My suggestion is share this position at-least.

Iran is battling out without not within. Her daily blast on Israel and the recent botched up US operations to retrieve nuclear enriched feed stock from Isfahan illustrates that the whole nation is behind the government solidly.  In contrast, Germany is torn between right of centre and left of centre political spectrum. The CSU/CDU & SPC coalition is running like a headless chicken.

Politics apart in the area of geoeconomics, Germany is rattling down in an alarming manner. Within the corporal body there are so many fissures. In-fighting within the ruling coalition is just a tip of the iceberg. The malaise is spreading wide across the society.

A recent survey conducted under the rubric of “Jugend in Deutschland” during a 30 days period beginning 9 January to 9 February this year shows about 21% of the people surveyed in the 14 to 29 age bracket wish to get out of the country for safe havens. While 41% opined that their departure lasts for long-term rather than as a short spell. What is more disturbing is the rising trend of young voters preferring AfD to form the next government. This is marked as 21% of the total young aspirants under the age of 25.

A host of reasons are evident for this social transformation. The all-pervading fear of economic insecurity is written on the wall. Polarization within the German society as regards to support for Iran a fellow Aryan nation is a litmus test.  The onslaught perpetrated by US & Israel combo over the citizens of Iran especially the massacre of more than 175  kids aged 7 to 12 in Minab school was so horrendous leaving in the minds of the German Youth not only a sense of frustration but a hatred towards the capitalist cabal who rule the west including Germany.

After more than 70 years of living under drastic geoeconomics sanctions people of Iran displayed bravery in the wake of this hideous military attack on civilian population. Germany and her rulers are only making statements that carry no weight but develops a perception in the minds of right thinking world citizen that Germany is no longer the power that had moral principles left. Despite odds the brave Aryan nation of Iran is standing tall whereas Germany whose great Fuhrer stood for the glory of Aryanism is now seen hurtling down from the cliff of a great geoeconomics power to an also ran contestant.

My direction

It behoves the present rulers of Germany to take stock of the calamitous situation and declare that they would stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Iran who are fellow Aryans. Iran and Germany would become inseparable twins as the fourth power in geopolitics, geoeconomics as well as geostrategy. Navigating strategy amid geoeconomics compel, Friedrich Merz fly to Tehran to seal the deal to work together as Aryan partners.

Germany must capitalize on Euro breakthrough by Macron

Macron made a hat trick: Got Iranians to allow passage for the French container ship, paid the toll and more importantly made Euro the transaction currency for oil & gas trade. Friedrich Merz is on the other hand is seen slipping towards the lowest ever approval rate for a chancellor in German history.

Macron often called as Le petit roi,   had the gumption to negotiate with Iran over the Hormuz issue, breaking rank with the other EU pundits. On 3- 4- 2026, Iran allowed the Malta-flagged, French-owned container ship Kribi operated by CMA CGM  to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, making it the first Western European vessel to do so in the closed gateway resulting from the US & Israel- Iran war. Effectively, the terms are France would not allow the using of French soil or airways against Iran; monetary transactions would be in Euro and the requisite toll would be paid.

This is indeed epochal. Firstly, the freedom of navigation claimed by the US led west has been rubbished and acknowledged so. Secondly, by paying in Euro the sanctions imposed upon Iran regarding foreign currency transactions are declared null and void. Thirdly, this results in a tectonic shift in geoeconomics where China and EU could work shoulder to shoulder in de-dollarization.

Iran is reported to enforce three conditions for passage thru Hormuz: one relates that the vessel belongs to a friendly nation. Understandably, America, Israel and the Gulf countries are deemed so far unfriendly. By the same token, the goods purported to be carried inside a vessel should have been transacted either via Yuan or an acceptable currency for the Iranian authorities. A flat toll is charged at approximately at US$ 2 million in value. The last would be reviewed as the case may be in the future.

Friedrich Merz must capitalize on this French breakthrough. Already he is in dire straits. A recent survey indicates a record high dissatisfaction rate amongst the German populace about the current the CDU/CSU & SPD Coalition and especially about the stewardship of Chancellor Friedrich Merz. In fact, his dissatisfaction ratio is perched at 85% the absolute low for any German Chancellor so far.

A lack lustre Merz continues to pontificate as regards to the progress of war making passive statement such as “I wish every day that the Iran war would end”. He must listen to people like Larry Fink of Black Rock, the world’s largest asset manager, who said in no uncertain terms that either Iran is accepted back into the international community or the Strait of Hormuz remains inaccessible.

Friedrich Merz must immediately approve that Euro be one of the two transaction currency along with Yuan and the EU removes all financial sanctions over Iran. Failing to do so would give the American a big advantage. They can quietly keep US Dollar as transaction currency for oil & gas along with Yuan but effectively unseating Euro from the reserve currency status.

Navigating strategy amid geoeconomics mandates that Friedrich Merz save both Germany and Euro in a single stroke by following French President Macron!
