Zionist Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu demanded the European Union to take a firmer line with Iran over its nuclear program.

Speaking at the start of a working meeting with EU Foreign Policy Chief, Catherine Ashton, Netanyahu said that “we need to exert pressure on them. We're not talking about political spin but about the spinning of centrifuges.”

“It must stop and I think it is up to Europe to join the United States and Israel and all the other elements in the international community in demanding a halt to Iran's nuclear program," he added.

In response, Ashton acknowledged the importance of consulting with Netanyahu about the situation in Iran after the elections, the Zionist premier’s office said.

“The real test regarding the elections in Iran will be if Iran changes its policy and stops enriching uranium, removes the nuclear material and closes the illegal nuclear facility at Qom," Netanyahu said.
