Germany says nuclear-armed Iran "unacceptable"

Wed Nov 25, 2009 11:57am EST

VIENNA, Nov 25 (Reuters) - Germany's foreign minister said on Wednesday a nuclear-armed Iran would not be acceptable and that patience was limited on finding a solution to a nuclear fuel deal with the Islamic Republic.

"A nuclear armed Iran is not acceptable," Guido Westerwelle told a news conference.

"Our patience is not going to last for ever," he said, referring to negotiations between major powers and Iran over its nuclear programme, which the West fears is aimed at atomic bomb-making capability. Iran denies this. (Reporting by Sylvia Westall; Editing by Charles Dick)
