Britain, France, and Germany have issued a joint statement ahead of a UN Security Council meeting, calling on Iran to halt its nuclear escalation. The three European nations accused Iran of increasing its stockpile of highly enriched uranium to unprecedented levels without any credible civilian justification. They emphasized that Iran's actions violate its commitments under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA) and warned of the urgency of the nuclear crisis. The representatives from these countries highlighted that Iran's enriched uranium levels are now 32 times above the limits set by the JCPoA. The statement reflects growing concerns over Iran's nuclear ambitions and the need for diplomatic solutions to de-escalate tensions.
