Iran must take its final decision about the fate of the 2015 nuclear agreement, said German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Saturday.
"The Iranian leadership now has a choice: now is the moment of truth," Scholz said at the Munich Security Conference.
"We have come a long way in the negotiations in Vienna in the last 10 months. All the elements for a conclusion of the negotiations are on the table," Scholz said.
However, he warned, if Iran continues to enrich fuel and at the same time suspends monitoring by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), this is unacceptable.
"An Iranian nuclear weaponization is unacceptable for us. Also because Israel's security is not negotiable."
The German leader said it is a crucial time for Iran to make choices.
"We now have the chance to reach an agreement that will allow the sanctions to be lifted," Scholz said, but warned: "If we don't manage to do this very quickly, the negotiations risk failing."
Envoys from Iran, Russia, China, Britain, France, Germany, the EU and the US are still negotiating details of the draft accord in the ongoing nuclear talks in Vienna.
