PARIS (Reuters) – Military action is not the solution to the Western powers’ standoff with Iran over its nuclear program, French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin said on Thursday.
“My conviction is that military actions is certainly no solution,” Villepin told a monthly news conference.
“We should collectively prove our firmness. The international community must assume all of its responsibilities. We must draw the consequences of a refusal by Iran — if that were confirmed — to cooperate. It is essential to maintain the unity of the international community,” he said.
