French President Nicolas Sarkozy said Friday that Europe’s security was “at stake” while countries like Iran were increasing the range of their missiles.
” Countries in Asia and the Middle East are rapidly developing ballistic capacities,” he said in a major defense policy speech as he inaugurated a new generation nuclear submarine named The Terrible.
” I am thinking in particular of Iran” which is “increasing the range of its missiles while serious suspicions weigh on its nuclear programme.”
He said that “it is of course the security of Europe that is at stake.”
