German FM: Iran using tricks on nuclear program

Iran has been using delaying tactics instead of taking action to resolve the dispute over its nuclear program, German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said on Friday.

Westerwelle told Deutschlandfunk radio that Iran would be judged by its actions and not by its words, and that only a serious return to negotiations would prevent further measures such as sanctions being imposed on the Islamic Republic. "For the past two years Iran has repeatedly bluffed and played tricks," Westerwelle said. (Reuters)
