The comments come ahead of next week's quarterly meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency Board of Governors, the UN nuclear watchdog tasked with inspecting Iran's nuclear facilities.
According to the ministry statement, Ushpiz told the EU officials Iran was advancing toward nuclear weapons capabilities every day and that now is the time to stop Iran's nuclear program.
Talks in Vienna on reviving the 2015 Iran nuclear deal are set to resume on November 29 for the first time since late June, when negotiations were stalled with the election of hardliner Ebrahim Raisi to the role of president.
