Thomas de Mazieres, chief of staff of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, told the Welt am Sonntag newspaper on Saturday: "We are looking at (possible) measures at the level of the UN."
Mullahs’ President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has caused international outrage with a series of anti-Israeli remarks in recent weeks.
He said he thought the proposal by Green European Parliament member Daniel Cohn-Bendit and others that Iranian regime should be kicked out of the football World Cup to be held in Germany next year was "an interesting idea".
German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier writes in the Sunday newspaper Bild am Sonntag that Ahmadinejad’s remarks jeopardise talks between the regime and the EU on nuclear issues.
"After the comments by the Iranian president, discussions on nuclear matters between Europeans and Iran are going to become difficult," according to Steinmeier.
"The world needs verifiable guarantees that Iran is not seeking to procure the nuclear bomb," he writes, adding that there is a danger that "Iran isolates itself completely on the international scene.
On Friday, As European leaders opened a summit meeting to discuss the demagogic remarks of the president of the theocratic dictatorship in Iran, Mrs. Maryam Rajavi, President-elect of the Iranian Resistance, called on EU leaders to halt diplomatic and trade ties to Tehran and refer the regime’s sponsorship of terrorism, nuclear file, and human rights record to the United Nations Security Council.
