| France gets tough. No, really |

| Domenic de Villepin throws the gloves down: The French foreign minister says Iran must cooperate fully with international inspectors by the October 31 deadline or Or what, de Villepin? or face possible U.N. sanctions. That’s not good at all. What do you want Iran to do? Speaking to reporters, Dominique de Villepin urged Iran to comply with the request of the International Atomic Energy Agency and sign an additional protocol to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty by the end of October. He said he delivered the same message to Iran’s foreign minister. What’ll happen if they don’t, de Villepin? Mr. Villepin said if Iran does not meet the October deadline, then the IAEA board of governors will have to decide whether to refer the matter to the United Nations Security Council. He said it would be up to the international community to decide if sanctions should be imposed on Iran. So. If Iran doesn’t give in, you’ll refer the matter to some organization who’ll refer it to another organization who’ll impose sanctions. Maybe. This should bury once and for all the idea that the French are wimps. |
