BERLIN (Reuters) - The United States' strategy of applying maximum pressure on Iran will not work alone and carries the risk of a regional escalation, Germany's Foreign minister Heiko Maas said.

"If fronts harden, nothing will get better or easier, but much more dangerous and difficult," Maas said following a meeting with Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and Iran in New York on Monday to discuss Iran's nuclear deal.
