Merkel sees talks on Iran’s nuclear program in a crucial phase
(NOTE: THIS ENTRY IS WITHOUT SPEAKER TEXT.) Chancellor Angela Merkel on Sunday in Jerusalem: “I have never considered the JCPOA (nuclear agreement) to be ideal, but it is always better than having no agreement at all. You can also see it differently. Now we are in a very difficult situation because the new American administration has promised to return, but day by day goes by and Iran is making no signs to start negotiations again. ” // “And with each of these days the enrichment of uranium increases and that is a very critical situation in which we naturally have to talk to each other about what that means, even under the three plus three. And I see Russia and China here too responsibility. Because if the JCPOA is no longer what it was supposed to be, then it will of course be difficult. That is why we are now facing very, very decisive weeks on this issue. “
