FRANCE THREATENS IRAN WITH WAR SOON IF THEY WILL NOT STOP THEIR NUCLEAR DRIVE.
'SEPT 29 2011
The French envoy to the UN has warned Iran that it risks a
military strike if it continues pursuing its nuclear program.
"If we don't succeed today to reach a negotiation with the Iranians, there is
a strong risk of military action," Ambassador Gerard Araud said on Tuesday
during a panel discussion at the UN's New York headquarters, AFP reported.
The strike, he said, "would be a very complicated operation. It would have
disastrous consequences in the region... all the Arab countries are extremely
worried about what is happening."
Last Sunday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called on Iran to "freeze
the production of centrifuges," saying that such a step would prevent fresh
sanctions against it.
"In response we will abstain from imposing more sanctions, both at the UN
Security Council and unilaterally," the diplomat said in a CNN interview.
On Tuesday, Mr. Lavrov stressed the need to find a diplomatic solution to the
issue.
"We don't see any alternative to a political and diplomatic solution and
taking concrete steps towards renewing of talks," he said in an address to the
United Nations General Assembly in New York.
Earlier this month, the UN nuclear watchdog published a report on developments
after Teheran allowed an inspector to enter some of its nuclear facilities
which had previously been closed. Moscow believes that Iran's latest moves
show positive changes in its attitude to the UN's control of its nuclear
program, which the international community should encourage.
On Saturday, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali-Akbar Salehi called on the European
Union to resume nuclear talks with Tehran.
"There have been new developments with regard to Iran's nuclear issue and also
other issues," Salehi said in a meeting with EU Foreign Policy Chief Catherine
Ashton on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
Earlier this month, former US Vice President Dick Cheney said he believed
Israel would attack Iran to prevent it from achieving nuclear weapons
capacity.
Cheney told Newsmax TV that "Iran represents an existential threat and [the
Israelis] will do whatever they have to do to guarantee their survival and
their security."
