Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel urged Iran on Friday to seize the "unbelievable chance" to get out of its nuclear program crisis with the package of incentives offered by the six major nations.

"I appeal on all forces of reason to see this chance and build on this chance," Merkel said after meeting with the visiting Jordanian King Abdallah II.

Merkel said she and King Abdallah had agreed that Iran "must not be allowed to come into the possession of nuclear weapons."

The five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany made an offer to Iran in Vienna on Thursday, aimed at persuading Iran to meet the international demands to halt its uranium enrichment.

The two-part package contains both incentives to encourage Iran to cooperate, and the warning of punishment by the UN Security Council if Tehran does not comply.

No details about the incentives have been unveiled.

"Both parts of the offer are an unbelievable chance for Iran, for the entire region, and for world developments - we have a conflict which we can resolve," Merkel said.

King Abdallah did not make much comment on Iran, but said " all parties must work to find a diplomatic solution to the matter."
