German chancellor backs more sanctions against Iran

None

German Chancellor Angela Merkel says her country will back tougher sanctions against Iran if the country doesn't change its tune on its nuclear program.

 

Merkel said after meeting Israel's prime minister Monday that "if Iran's reactions don't change, we will help work on comprehensive sanctions." She said that Germany hopes to achieve agreement on that in the UN Security Council, but if that isn't possible it also would participate in sanctions along with "countries that are pursuing the same aim."
