The French news agency reported that French President Nicolas Sarkozy in an interview with French magazine “Le Nouvel Observateur” warned of a risk of a war with Iran.

“Everyone agrees on the fact that what the Iranians are doing has no civilian explanation,” Sarkozy said, referring to Tehran’s uranium enrichment work. “The only debate is about whether they will develop a military capacity in one or five years.”

Sarkozy has said a new UN resolution boosting sanctions against Iran is still justified despite the US intelligence report.
