DOHA, Feb 05 (AFP): German Chancellor Friedrich Merz urged Iran's leadership to "truly enter talks" on Thursday, the eve of their planned negotiations with US envoys, saying there was a "great fear of military escalation in the region".
Speaking to reporters in the Qatari capital Doha, Merz said Iran had to "stop its nuclear programme" and avoid "further military threats" to Israel and other countries in the region.
