ANGOULEME, France (AFP) – French Prime Minister Francois Fillon said Monday that tensions over Iran’s nuclear programme were “extreme” but insisted there was still room for diplomacy in the nuclear stand-off.
“The Iranians must understand that tension has reached an extreme point… in the relationship between Iran and its neighbours,” Fillon said, while adding that “a confrontation with Iran is the last option that any political leader would want.”
