Foreign Ministers of Iran and Germany have reiterated their opposition to a looming US-led war against Iraq, the official IRNA news agency reported.

"The regime of Baghdad must be disarmed by peaceful means and there is no need for new resolutions or an ultimatum," German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer told his Iranian counterpart KamalKharrazi in a phone call Thursday.

He was referring to a US and British-backed UN resolution which gives Iraq until March 17 to disarm or face war.

Kharrazi said Iran as well as the whole Islamic world is opposed to a war on Iraq. "The whole Islamic world is trying to prevent a war," he said.

Kharrazi called for global opposition to the American unilateralism, saying that "a war is not a solution to the crisis."

"The stances of such countries as Germany, Russia and France in creating an anti-war front against America's warmongering policies have been effective," Kharrazi noted.

On his part, Fischer cautioned that people should " not relate the warmongering of certain countries to all Western countries."
