Germany: "New nuclear deal with Iran must also address missile program"

Foreign Minister Maas said the current agreement "is not enough" and that it should include "our interests as well".

He sided with a complex deal that would curb Tehran's conduct and called for it to play a different role in the region.

In Iran, they rejected outright: "We will not renegotiate a deal we negotiated," said his Iranian counterpart Zarif.

Germany aims to reach a new and expanded nuclear deal with Iran that also includes reference to Tehran's ballistic missile program, Foreign Minister Haiku Mas said today (Friday).

"There is a need for a kind of 'nuclear plus agreement', in which our interests are also spread," the German foreign minister clarified in an interview with Spiegel magazine.

According to Mas, his country, which currently serves as the current president of the European Union, is strongly opposed to Tehran's missile program.

"We have clear expectations for Iran: 'Without nuclear weapons, but also without a ballistic missile program that threatens the entire region,'" he said. In addition, he called on the Islamic Republic to "play a different role in the region.

" That we do not trust Iran. ”The original nuclear deal between Iran and the powers from 2015 freed Tehran from sanctions in exchange for restraining the development of its nuclear program.

Brussels and Washington were a key party to the agreement, but US President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew from it in 2018, re-imposing sanctions on Iran as part of a "maximum pressure" campaign on Tehran in which he launched.

President-elect Joe Biden has already signaled that Washington could rejoin the agreement as a starting point for negotiations with Iran, provided it is willing to part with the deal again.

However, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has rejected talks on opening the agreement.

"We will not re-discuss a deal we have negotiated," he said yesterday.

He also added that Western powers need to examine their own behavior before criticizing Iran.

He also complained about what he describes as European outrage over the assassination of one of Iran's top nuclear scientists, Muhsin Fahrizadeh, last week - an attack in which Tehran blamed Israel.
