PARIS (Reuters) - A report by U.N. watchdog saying Iran is stepping up uranium enrichment measures leaves world powers no alternative but to push for sanctions, France's Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday.
"In light of the report, the Six (five permanent members of the security council plus Germany) have no choice but to seek the rapid adoption of a new sanctions resolution," ministry spokesman Bernard Valero told reporters at a regular news briefing.
The International Energy Agency said in a report on Monday that Iran is preparing extra equipment to enrich uranium to higher levels and continues to stockpile nuclear material.
