“In the next few days, we will use every opportunity to counter the further escalation of the situation - in the UN, in the EU and in dialogue with our partners in the region, as well as in dialogue with Iran,” he said in an interview with Bild.
Maas noted that he is in close contact with the Foreign Ministers of Great Britain and France, as well as the Head of EU Diplomacy and the US Secretary of State.
