Berlin: Amidst growing US threats to Iran over the situation in Iraq, India and Germany on May 28 hoped that all issues in Iran would be resolved through dialogue and that it will not lead to anything more serious.

The recent developments in Iran came up in the discussions the two sides had during the ongoing visit of Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee and it was noticed that they have caused some concern, External Affairs Minister Yashwant Sinha told reporters while briefing them on the parleys between Vajpayee and Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and other German leaders.

"India and Germany hope that whatever the issue in Iran, it will be resolved through dialogue and it will not lead to anything more serious," Sinha said in reply to a question on the emerging situation in Iran.

He said the Indian side got the sense that Germany was not going to participate in the stabilisation force in Iraq.
