Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaei posted on X, accusing Europe of now complaining about the billions in costs from a war with Iran, after supporting Israel's "dirty work" against Iran. Rezaei wrote: "When you cheered for war crimes, did you not think the consequences would also reach you? War and terror come at a price. Now it's your turn to pay." Previously, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated in June 2025 during an Israeli attack on Iran: "This is Israel doing the dirty work for all of us." European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen also said this month, "Households and industries are paying the price for a war that extends far beyond our borders."
