French premonition: war with Iran coming
September 16, 2007 by pulkit
French might not be world renowned soothsayers, but you don’t need to be one to predict that Iran is inviting a military conflict. French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said that France had to be ready for the worst case scenario–a war–if Iran didn’t bow to international pressure over its nuclear program.
Though he was explicit over the possibility of a war, but did not clearly state if France will be part of an international military campaign against Iran. He advised Iran that peace was in the best interest of all.
Kouchner’s comments follow a similarly hawkish statement by French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who said last month in his first major foreign policy speech since taking office that a diplomatic push by the world’s powers was the only alternative to “an Iranian bomb or the bombing of Iran.” [source]
