German Chancellor Olaf Scholz condemned Iran's plans to boost its uranium enrichment, saying greater efforts were needed to stop Tehran from acquiring the nuclear bomb.
"As far as Iran's enrichment policy is concerned, it underscores once again how important it is to do everything possible to ensure that Iran does not get a nuclear bomb or missile systems with which to transport it," Scholz said at a joint news conference with French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne.
He added preventing Iran from getting a nuclear bomb was one of the "central goals" of Germany as well as France and other Western allies, notably the US and UK.
