(20.12.2017) Gabriel emphasized that Berlin and Riyadh have agreed on the need to counter Iran’s political role in the region, adding that his country wanted to confront Iranian threats in partnership with the US.

“We are very concerned about Iran’s external political role in the region. I said so clearly during my visit to Washington a while ago. We want to confront the problem of the Iranian role in the region in partnership with the Americans, without harming the nuclear agreement. In this context, we have clearly expressed our condemnation of Iran’s missile tests, as they are in no way consistent with Security Council Resolution 2231,” he stated.
