Berlin Presses Tehran for Immediate Talks


(MENAFN) Berlin over the weekend urged the Islamic Republic to "immediately" open discussions with Washington and Israel in pursuit of a diplomatic exit, after U.S. aircraft carried out strikes on its atomic installations.

Government spokesman Stefan Kornelius said the Federal Republic’s Security Cabinet convened early Sunday under Chancellor Friedrich Merz to assess the latest situation created by the United States’ raids on key Iranian nuclear complexes.

“Chancellor Friedrich Merz reiterates his call for Iran to immediately begin negotiations with the US and Israel and to reach a diplomatic solution to the conflict,” spokesman Stefan Kornelius said in a statement.

“The Chancellor and security cabinet ministers will coordinate closely with their European Union and US partners throughout the day,” he added.

Kornelius noted that initial analyses indicated substantial damage to Tehran’s nuclear program from the strikes, though a comprehensive evaluation would follow later.
