France's foreign ministry warned Iran on Thursday against taking further measures that could breach the 2015 nuclear accord with world powers and as a result jeopardize a diplomatic window opened with the arrival of a new US administration.

"To preserve the political space to find a negotiated solution, we call on Iran not to take any new measures that would further worsen the nuclear situation, already extremely worrying due to the accumulation of violations of the Vienna Accord, including the latest just reported by the IAEA," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Agnes von der Muhll said.

She was referring to a UN atomic watchdog report on Wednesday that said Tehran had carried out its plan to produce uranium metal. Iran has also warned it could block later this month short-notice inspections of its nuclear facilities.

The death toll in an explosion at a petrol station in Russia's Caspian Sea region of Dagestan has risen to 12, including two children, the emergencies ministry said on Saturday.
The blast, which occurred on Friday outside the regional capital of Makhachkala, also injured 23 people, it said.
Healthcare minister aide Alexei Kuznetsov said that four people remained in hospitals, including one in serious condition, Russian state news agency RIA reported.
According to Reuters, Dagenergo, the regional power operator, said on Friday the blast damaged "energy objects" and that power supply was partially disrupted in nearby districts. An emergency regime was declared in the district, local authorities said.
A local branch of the Investigative Committee, which deals with serious crimes in Russia, said it had opened a criminal case and was establishing the circumstances of the incident.
Local authorities declared Sept. 28 a day of mourning in the region.
