German FM: Nuclear Iran a threat to entire region

After meeting Barak, Westerwelle emphasizes shared concerns over Iran threat; defense minister lauds security cooperation.

German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle emphasized the concerns his country shared with Israel over Iran's nuclear program, following a meeting with Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Sunday.

"A nuclear-armed Iran would not only pose a threat to Israel but to the stability of the entire region. A nuclear-armed Iran is not an option," he said.
