Germany urged all sides on Saturday to show restraint after the killing of an Iranian nuclear scientist and avoid escalating tensions that could derail any talks on Iran�s nuclear programme.


�A few weeks before the new U.S. administration takes office, it is important to preserve the scope for talks with Iran so that the dispute over Iran�s nuclear programme can be resolved through negotiations,� a Foreign Ministry spokesman said.


�We therefore urge all parties to refrain from any steps that could lead to a further escalation of the situation,� he said in an emailed statement.
