French Foreign Minister Calls Situation in Iran 'Dangerous'

Wednesday, November 04, 2009

PARIS —
France is worried about the latest violence in Iran as well as Tehran's failure to reply to U.S.-backed proposals to export most of its enriched uranium for processing into fuel for a nuclear research reactor, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said Wednesday.

Kouchner appeared impatient about Iran's reticence with regard to proposals to ease concerns over its nuclear program and firmly stated that Israel and the international community would never agree to allow Iran to have nuclear weapons.

"I don't think one should provoke the Israelis with the potential existence, putative, or at least unproved manufacture of a nuclear bomb," Kouchner said.

However, Kouchner ruled out sanctions at the present time as a possible means to gain leverage against Iran.

"For the moment, the situation is blocked, which I deplore but we won't have sanctions right now," Kouchner told reporters Wednesday evening. "It is not question of sanctions, it's a question of talking," Kouchner added. "Maybe sanctions will come later. ... It's not a question of them now."

Iran's failure to reply to the proposals hinted at divisions within the government, Kouchner said. However, he said that the five Security Council nations plus Germany which have been talking with Iran about its nuclear program would not be willing to wait forever.

"They are not answering us. So what are we supposed to do. To wait? Yes, we are waiting but not till the end of the world," Kouchner said.

The United States and other major powers are concerned that Iran may be enriching uranium in order to develop nuclear weapons. The Iranians maintain their program is for research purposes and to produce energy.

The latest proposal from the International Atomic Energy Agency, IAEA, calls for part of Iran's declared enriched uranium to be sent to Russia for further enrichment and then to France to be processed into fuel that would be then sent back to Iran for use in the Tehran Research Reactor.

Iran's failure to respond is "dangerous," Kouchner said.

He said that political talks with Iran in Geneva had been a sign of progress, but he did not appear optimistic about another round.

"I am worried because the situation remains tense," he said. "And at the same time the replies have not come ... which is a bad sign for a new meeting in Geneva," Kouchner said, adding that he found Tehran's silence "incomprehensible" and ultimately that failure to reply would mark a rupture in the talks.

He was firm that Iran should never have a nuclear bomb.

"If they want to develop an atomic bomb, a nuclear weapon, we are not in agreement," Kouchner said. "Not at all and this is not, of course, along the line of the treaty they signed already, the Non-Proliferation Treaty."

This is sounding like 1938/39 in Europe. :blnk:

With the current leadership, Iran is not going to give in on this. Posted Image IMHO anyway.

Ahmadinejad has stated has stated more than once that he wants to "wipe Israel off the map." Israel has never said the same about Iran, so I don't blame them for keeping their nukes for self defense. They learned the hard way!

Iran is a rogue state, even their own people are not happy!
Israel is no danger, it has the right to defend itself.

Isreal has said many times that they are prepared to strike Iran with military if Iran builds a nuclear bomb like the Isreali's have. As far as who wipes who off the map will be a moot point because when the bombs fly, neither country will be left standing.

As far as France making all sort of dire warnings about Iran is kind of strange because France buys it's crude oil fram Iran. Maybe Iran upped their price of crude and the French are whining again....,

The only translators who have ever translated Ahmadinejad as saying he wanted to "wipe Israel off the map" were American Zionists; indeed, every other nation that translated his remarks completely disagreed with the American translation.

The UN has all of Iran's nuclear material under 24/7 observation; every ounce can be accounted for, and the nuclear material is enriched only enough to operate plants that supply electricity.

Israel is a pirate state that has no right to exist at the expense of any other people, especially the people of Palestine. If you really wanted peace in the Middle East, the UN would invade Israel, strip them of their illegal nuclear weapons and send those Ashkenazi wannabe Jews back to south Russia were they originated.

Israel, like any common thief, has no right to defend itself against the truth. Those pretend Jews have no legitimate claim to any part of Palestine; indeed, they ain't even related to the ancient Hebrews by any stretch of the imagination. And even if they were, why do you give a damn; are you a Russian Jew?

Screw the parasitical Jews; the world would be better off without them. Even the Christ, who was Hebrew by blood, had no use for the Jews of His day, and zero use for a bunch of pretend Jews who have no historical claim to any part of the so-called "Holly Land," which you and I call Palestine.

Come on, kid, wake up!

If you want to die for a lie, then believe the Ashkenazi Jews who infest Palestine; but if you want to die for the truth, then die invading Israel and stripping that parasitical nation of its ability to wage nuclear war on peace-loving Iran and its neighbors in the Middle East. The problem is the Russian Jews, who claim to be descendents of the Hebrews, but who, in reality, are no more Hebrew that you are; duh!

As for Iran being a rogue state whose people are not happy with its government, the same can be said about the people of Canada and the US, who don't like traitors trying to merge our nations with Mexico in contradiction of our respective constitutions.

You're quick to point out the flaws of others, but you're slow witted when it come to pointing out your own flaws, kid. Before you point out my flaws, or thoseof the Palestinians, mayve you ought to dcheck out you own shortcomings just to be sure thatyou ain't talking shyte; humm?

The only thing I will agree to is that on some subjects we dis-agree.
Now let's get on with it. I am too old to be concerned about what some guys I have never met think about my convictions and opinions.

Sweets, you may not like Beancounter for his views and opinions (which we all have a right to), but in his last post to RO.... how does what he said sound like a true Zionist? Just curious. :shrug:

Well as far as the french government is concerned Zarkozy is jewish so I imagine his minister has the same baggage -- as far as Beano goes he gives out the vibes and demeanor of an ashikanazi jew -- He's one of the chosen, or one of those Born-again pisspot for brain waiting on the second coming -- so we all know what his policy would be on anything that concerns israel -- Hymie Kouchner doesn't sound irish to me

Double standards putting the clamps on the little fella and allowing Israel to flaunt their nukes is not kosher in my book -- Iran has lived up to all inspections etc by the UN -- Israel has defied every fekin order from the UN has ever brought down -- logic would say we are worring about the wrong fekin group of genocidal maniacs --- Just another Goldie sacks Bushco Oil agenda -- Yes,

The comments of anti-Semites and or Racists are of no interest to me.
They have already proven that their prejudices are pathetic.
LOOOONG on opinion, short on non-existent knowledge.
And they don't even have the brains to comprehend that.
No sense arguing with them, just ignore them.
Which I do most of the time, but I could not resist this one.
