Merz: Iran should not possess nuclear weapons

Germany's Chancellor accused Iran on Tuesday of pursuing a nuclear weapons program.

Citing the recent announcement by Iran's leadership to continue enriching uranium to above 60%, Friedrich Merz told parliament in Berlin:

 "This announcement, the deep bunkering of centrifuges, the restriction of access for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) commissioner, and the continued deception of the public show how serious Iran was and clearly is about its nuclear weapons program," Merz said.

Merz said Germany hopes that the recent actions of Israel and the US will permanently prevent Iran from getting any closer to its destructive goal.

"Not only Israel, but also Europe and the world as a whole are threatened by this Iranian nuclear program, and at the same time, the conflict with Iran should not plunge the region into war," Merz said.

Merz reiterated that Iran should not possess nuclear weapons, while accusing the Iranian leadership of destabilizing the entire Middle East for decades.

The chancellor's comments came after Rafael Grossi, the head of the IAEA, said the UN nuclear watchdog has no evidence of a systematic effort by Iran to move towards a nuclear weapon. /CNA
