German chancellor lands late in India after Iran blocks plane

Iran temporarily withdrew flyover rights for the plane carrying German chancellor Angela Merkel to India on Tuesday, forcing it to circle over Turkey for two hours before the rights were restored and she could land in New Delhi.

"An unusual start to the India trip," Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert wrote on his Twitter account. "Iran temporarily denied flyover rights for the Chancellor's plane. A late landing in Delhi."

A Reuters journalist travelling with Merkel reported that Iran had withdrawn the previously granted rights shortly before the plan reached Iranian territory.

Officials in the German delegation travelling with Merkel attributed it to "coordination problems." The plane, carrying a large group of industry representatives and reporters, was forced to circle over Turkey before Iran gave it permission to fly over the country.

A second German government plane that left Berlin earlier reached India without any problems.

Unnecessary and weird insult. Although no one, even here in Germany, really cares to be honest...

but it certainly will not help the diplomatic climate.

Poor Germans, hijacked british subjects and tits for the europeans. oh man.
Germans don't have pandas, and Merkel's final destination is singapore.
Been in the "west" for so long, germans is craving for a "change, and yes we can?"

big game started, all lesser powers have to align themselves, there are no neutrals,
all neutrals will be considered potential hostile.

time to put chips on the table, winners reap rewards, loser surrender their loss.

Iran should use the same policy for Indians too.

No they shouldn't. I bet India is under pressure for financial threat or whatever, I hope the Germans were there to instill some confidence in the Indians.
If they choose the wrong side, nukes will be rolling down from the the mountains. Yeah, there are pressures too.

India *is* being squeezed now.

You do realize that German Chancellor is there to improve business ties(Read MMRCA-EFT), and was invited by Indian PM. Yes India is so being squeezed right now.
