UNITED NATIONS: The French foreign minister stated at the United Nations on Monday that if Iran’s nuclear program poses a threat to European security, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom will not think twice about reimposing sanctions against Tehran.
Following a closed-door meeting of the Security Council on non-proliferation that he had called, Jean-Noel Barrot warned reporters that Iran “is on the verge of acquiring nuclear weapons” and that it “has crossed all the boundaries it had committed to respect.”
“The Iranian nuclear issue cannot be resolved militarily. Although it is a difficult road, there is a diplomatic way to accomplish it,” he continued.
