German chancellor lands late in India after Iran blocks plane

Germany has extended sanctions against Iran. Almost a declaration of war. And they expect Iran to be polite towards them. Would Merkal ask to fly over North Korea, who also has sanctions against them.
 
Berlin summons Iran envoy over Merkel plane delay

BERLIN: Germany summoned the Iranian ambassador on Tuesday after his country briefly closed its airspace to Chancellor Angela Merkel's plane, foreign minister Guido Westerwelle said.

"Hindering the German chancellor's passage over Iran is absolutely unacceptable. It shows a lack of respect towards Germany that we will not accept," Westerwelle said in a statement.

"That is why I have summoned the Iranian ambassador. We shall make it very plain that such a breach of international conventions will in no way be tolerated by Germany," he added.

Iran denied Merkel's plane flyover rights while en route to India overnight, her spokesman said.

"Strange start to Indian trip -- Iran temporarily denies overflight to chancellor's plane. Delayed landing in Delhi," Steffen Seibert said in a message sent on microblogging site Twitter.

The reason for the overflight denial was not immediately known.

Media reports said the plane carrying Merkel and a high-level delegation had to circle for two hours over Turkey before receiving permission to cross Iranian airspace.

A second plane with four of Merkel's ministers and other delegation members was not delayed.
 
For some reason, i feel Iran is wrong.

German taught the world Engineering,

Germans practically showed what industry is !

Respect the precision nation.
 
Who here is surprised you are anti Iran.

lol yea was about to say that but you beat me to it.
Salafis hate Iran more than Israel so no surprise here.

Anyways, Iran and Germany had AMAZING relationship before the revolution and even after the rev they have been the only Euro nation to show some friendship towards Iran. This was Iran's way of telling the German leader to make up your mind. They've been becoming more and more anti Iran. We just want them to stop being such pvssies and stop showing friendship while also supporting sanctions etc...
