Iran, Germany call for cooperation against terror
Iran and Germany agree on the need to cooperate against “terrorism” Wednesday as Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier became the latest official to visit Tehran since the implementation of a landmark nuclear deal.
Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani says the two countries could “cooperate on resolving regional and international issues, especially on fighting terrorism,” the official IRNA news agency reports.
“The flow of arms and financial resources to terrorism must be stopped,” Rouhani says.
Steinmeier’s visit comes after a landmark deal between Tehran and world powers to limit Iran’s nuclear program in return for lifting international sanctions against it came into force last month.
The German foreign minister will next visit Saudi Arabia.
