AFP, Sep. 9, Doha — French Defence Minister Herve Morin warned on Sunday that Iran’s nuclear programme posed a ‘major risk’ to the stability of the Gulf region.
’It is necessary to make Iran understand that the nuclear risk creates a major risk of destabilising the region,’ Morin told journalists as he wrapped up a visit to the Gulf state of Qatar.

He said Iran’s nuclear ambitions were a major concern for the region.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy last month declared that Iran possessing a nuclear weapon was ’unacceptable’ and that he considered it the gravest problem currently facing the international community.
