LONDON:Â British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed during a meeting in London on the need to prevent Iran acquiring a nuclear weapon, Downing Street said on Thursday.
"Both Prime Ministers agreed on the need to prevent Iran getting a nuclear weapon and stop wider destabilising Iranian behaviour. The Prime Minister stressed the need for dialogue and a diplomatic solution," a Downing Street spokeswoman said.
Johnson also said he looked forward to seeing the United States' proposals for a viable Israel-Palestinian peace agreement, the spokeswoman said.
Echoing what Johnson and Netanyahu said earlier on, France's foreign ministry on Thursday called on Iran to refrain from any concrete action that does not comply with its 2015 nuclear deal obligations after Tehran said it would develop centrifuges for faster uranium enrichment.
"Iran must refrain from any concrete action that is not in line with its commitments and that may hinder de-escalation efforts," Foreign ministry spokeswoman Agnes von der Muhll told reporters in a daily online briefing.
She added that Paris would study the Iranian announcement with its partners and the UNÂ atomic agency.Â
