Iran will restart its uranium enrichment programme if talks with European Union heavyweights France, Britain and Germany fail on Friday, Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi said on Thursday.

‘‘If there is no agreement and negotiations collapse, there is no choice but to restart the programme,’’ Kharrazi told reporters in The Hague after talks with his Dutch counterpart Bernard Bot.

Iran is due to hold talks in London on Friday with Britain, France and Germany, who want Iran to give up uranium enrichment in return for incentives such as trade deals. Iran insists its nuclear programme is entirely peaceful.
