Just days after signing of the nuclear deal travels Economy Minister Gabriel to Tehran. Included is a business delegation – which is hoping for lucrative deals. But to Israel it is to go.
After the nuclear agreement with Iran Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel visited the first Western leaders Tehran to explore economic cooperation opportunities. The SPD leader met with a trade delegation in the Iranian capital, where he will meet President Hassan Ruhani and several ministers on Monday.

He will insist that the Iranian government acknowledges the existence of Israel, the SPD politician of the “Bild” newspaper said. At a reception at the residence of the German ambassador in Tehran Gabriel also said: “For Germany, it must be clear:. Whoever has sustainable relationships with us who can not make politically questioned the existence of Israel”

The beginning of the week taken in Vienna agreement should make it impossible for Iran to build nuclear weapons.
