France's Sarkozy warns Iran on failure of nuclear talks
None
French President Nicolas Sarkozy told Iran on Wednesday that failure to reach a credible agreement over its nuclear programme would force world powers to mobilise to protect threatened states in the region.
In an annual address to France's ambassadors, Sarkozy laid out his foreign policy objectives as the country prepares to take over the chair next year of the Group of 20 powers and the narrower club of rich countries known as the G8. "If a credible agreement cannot be reached, Iran's isolation wold only worsen," Sarkozy said. "And in the face of worsening threat, we would have to organise ourselves to protect and defend states that feel threatened." (Reuters)
