Germany's Merkel Calls on Europe to Counter Iran's "Aggressive Tendencies"
(Radio Free Europe-Radio Liberty) "Iran's aggressive tendencies must not only be discussed, but rather we need solutions urgently," German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on June 21 after meeting Jordan's King Abdullah in Amman. She said that while European countries wanted to maintain the 2015 nuclear accord with Tehran, they remained concerned about Iran's ballistic missile program, its presence in Syria, and its role in the civil war in Yemen. Merkel also expressed support for Jordanian concerns about Iranian activity near its border with southwestern Syria. "You live not just with the Syria conflict, but also we see Iran's activities with regard to Israel's security and with regard to Jordan's border."
