“I hope that this confrontation will not take place, that there will be no war waged on Iran and that there will be no events triggered by Iran,” said Kouchner, French Defence Minister, during a visit to Amman.
I hope for a peaceful solution to the nuclear problem posed by Iran.
On Sunday, French Defence Minister Herve Morin warned during a visit to Doha that Iran’s nuclear programme posed a “major risk” to the stability of the Gulf region.
France said earlier this month that it was considering fresh sanctions to pressure Iran to halt its nuclear programme, while President Nicolas Sarkozy said in August that Iran risked being bombarded if the crisis was not resolved.
