VIENNA, Austria (CNN) -- An Iranian official has warned European countries against "coercive" measures in the diplomatic standoff over its nuclear program as Tehran removed the U.N. watchdog agency's seals from its Isfahan nuclear processing facility.

The International Atomic Energy Agency's governing board is scheduled to meet Thursday afternoon to discuss the issue after Iran announced it would resume operations at its Isfahan uranium conversion plant.

Cyrus Nasseri, Iran's chief delegate to the watchdog agency, told CNN that European countries should "think twice" before taking any action that might be considered "coercive."

"That would be a course of action that would lead to a situation where everyone would lose," he said. In talks Wednesday, Nasseri dropped a not-so-veiled hint that Iran could push world oil prices higher if the West tried to block its nuclear program, according to a Western diplomat who attended discussions in Vienna.
