Amman: Iran needs to stop interfering in regional conflicts, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said on Monday during a visit to Jordan.
"We are agreed. If Iran wants to de-escalate, then it must stop agitation in its region, which also applies to Iraq,” Maas said after meeting with his Jordanian counterpart, Ayman Safadi.
Tensions in the Middle East escalated sharply after top Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani was killed in a US drone strike in Baghdad earlier this month.
Safadi called for de-escalation and dialogue to solve the crisis between the United States and Iran.
"The region cannot bear a new crisis. It has enough crises,” Safadi said. (DPA)
