London, Berlin support sanctions against Iran

Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown favor the imposition of tougher sanctions against Iran in connection with its nuclear program.

After talks in London, both leaders said they completely support sanctions and would continue talks with their allies.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy also expressed Paris’s desire to see new sanctions against Iran during talks with US President Barack Obama in Washington earlier this week.

Obama earlier said he hoped to see tougher sanctions in place “within weeks.”
