BERLIN – German Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer called on Iran to renounce plans to resume sensitive nuclear activities and warned the Islamic Republic not to escalate the crisis, in an interview set to appear Saturday.
Speaking with daily newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung, Fischer said Germany, France and Britain took Iran’s intentions to break the seal on a uranium conversion facility in Isfahan very seriously.
Such a step, said Fischer, would “constitute a unilateral renunciation of an agreement taken together. Iran must not make such an error in calculation. It would be a very serious development,” warned Fischer.
“Iran can do everything that is in its legitimate interests and accepted by the international community for its security without creating a dangerous nuclear weapons race in the Middle East,” said the German foreign minister.
Iran characterized the European trio’s propositions submitted Friday in an attempt to defuse the crisis as “unacceptable.”
