Germany's Merkel Tells Congress Iran Must Not Acquire Nuclear Bomb
[Radio Free Europe-Radio Liberty] Andrew F. Tully - German Chancellor Angela Merkel told a joint session of the U.S. Congress Tuesday that her country can never accept a nuclear-armed Iran. She said, "zero tolerance needs to be shown when there is a risk of weapons of mass destruction falling, for example, into the hands of Iran and threatening our security." Merkel said a nuclear weapon "in the hands of an Iranian president who denies the Holocaust, threatens Israel, and denies Israel the right to exist is not acceptable."
