“According to The Daily Telegraph, however, the remarks came in response to Merz’s remarks that Iran was humiliating Washington with its negotiation strategy.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim attributes the specific context (Merz's remarks being a response to Iran's negotiation strategy) to The Daily Telegraph. While this context is mentioned in the web search results, the specific phrasing that Merz's remarks were *in response* to Iran's negotiation strategy is most clearly detailed in the context of the web search results, but not independently corroborated by a second source. Therefore, it relies heavily on the initial reporting source.
