Ma'ariv
The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Danny Ayalon, said to the visitors of the Defense Conference held in Munich, "We do not have time to wait and see if the sanctions will affect as it should, but we should act now to stop Iran."
This conference brings together many of the foreign and defense ministers of Western countries. During talks with European leaders Ayalon explained that until the end of this year, there is still a window of opportunity through which the Iranian nuclear program can be stopped. Ayalon urged them to impose a European oil embargo on Iran, which is supposed to be put into effect in July. The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs also said, "Currently the Iranian regime poses a threat, just as Hitler was in the thirties."
German officials also warned from the "verbal escalation" and called for the depletion of the negotiations with Iran. German Defense Minister, Thomas de Maiziere, refused to declare whether Germany will be ready to defend "Israel" if attacked. Then he explained: "the application of sanctions will begin in July. Therefore this opportunity must be seized to examine Iran's willingness to change its position."
As for the U.S. Foreign Affairs and Defense Ministers, Hillary Clinton and Leon Panetta, they refused during their first joint appearance in the conference to address the possible attack on Iran. Panetta contended that Iran's threat is ranked as the fourth among the list of threats facing the United States, after Afghanistan, international terrorism and North Korea. Then Clinton declared, "We have imposed sanctions on Iran, the maximum so far, but we are continuing the negotiations."
