Germany, France and Britain have pressed Iran to reverse a decision to start enriching uranium to levels beyond the limits of a 2015 nuclear agreement.

The foreign ministers of the three European nations said in a joint statement that the Iranian activity “has no credible civil justification” and “risks compromising” chances of diplomacy with the incoming US administration.
