European powers rebuke Iran after enrichment announcement

France, Britain and Germany said on Monday they were "deeply concerned" by an Iranian announcement that it intended to install additional advanced uranium-enriching centrifuges and a parliamentary law that could expand its nuclear programme.

"If Iran is serious about preserving a space for diplomacy, it must not implement these steps," the three powers said in a joint statement.
