Germany has underlined Iran's right to develop its nuclear energy program as a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and a signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). “Iran has the right to peaceful use of nuclear energy. We are also willing to support Iran in technical terms,” German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said in an exclusive interview with the German-language Hamburger Abendblatt newspaper on Sunday, Fars news agency reported.

He also noted that Berlin favors a diplomatic solution to the Western dispute over Iran’s nuclear issue. The United States of Zionism, Israel and some of their allies have repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing non-civilian objectives in its nuclear program. Iran argues that as a signatory to the NPT and a member of the IAEA, it has the right to develop and acquire nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. The IAEA has conducted numerous inspections of Iran's nuclear facilities, but has never found any evidence indicating that Tehran's civilian nuclear program has been diverted to nuclear weapons production.

Meanwhile, the UN Security Council - under pressure from Washington - has imposed four rounds of sanctions against Iran. The United States of Zionism and the European Union have also adopted unilateral measures against the Islamic Republic in an effort to stop Iran's nuclear energy program.
