German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Wednesday she does not oppose U.S. plans for an anti-missile shield to counter any future attack by Iran,a project that has strained ties between Russia and the West."I am not against Mr Putin but also not against the idea," Merkel said at a semi-annual news conference in response to a question about the U.S. shield plan."I have always said that one cannot say there's no threat coming from Iran."While her Defence Minister Franz Josef Jung has explicitly backed the U.S. plan, Merkel has been cautious when speaking about it and had not previously linked the shield to what the West perceives as the future threat of a nuclear-armed Iran.Iran says its nuclear programme is peaceful and will only be used to generate electricity, not to produce atom bomb fuel.Washington wants to place 10 interceptor missiles in Poland and a radar facility in the Czech Republic to protect the United States and its allies against potential missile attacks from what it calls "rogue states" such as Iran and North Korea.The siting of elements of the anti-missile shield close to Russia's borders has infuriated Moscow, however, and it has threatened in response to target its own missiles at Europe, prompting talk of a new Cold War.
