The EU warned on Monday that Iran's direction is increasing the risk of a nuclear proliferation crisis in the Middle East. In April, the International Atomic Energy Agency warned that Iran could be months or weeks away from being able to build a nuclear weapon. Mr Lambrinidis called on Iran not to proceed with its plans, as that would “undoubtedly put at risk any future nuclear diplomacy”. He said Iran’s nuclear activities, including enrichment at various levels, are for “peaceful purposes”. Under the deal, Iran minimised nuclear research and accepted UN inspections of its atomic complexes in exchange for the lifting of tight economic sanctions.
