German FM says nuclear-armed Iran threat to entire region

PanARMENIAN.Net - German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle emphasized the concerns his country shares with Israel over Iran's nuclear program, following a meeting with Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Sunday, Sept 9, The Jerusalem Post reported.

"A nuclear-armed Iran would not only pose a threat to Israel but to the stability of the entire region. A nuclear-armed Iran is not an option," he said.

He said that Germany will maintain sanctions and diplomatic pressure on Iran, adding that there is still room for diplomacy. "We urgently call on Iran to enter into substantial negotiations," he said.
