France: Israel will not launch attack 'at this stage'

France's foreign minister said Monday the European Union would likely lift some sanctions on Iran in December, as part of a hard-won deal that curbs Tehran's nuclear program.

Laurent Fabius also said Israel – which blasted Sunday's agreement as a "historic mistake" – was not likely to launch any preventative strikes on arch-foe Iran, "because no one would understand" such a move "at this stage." (AFP)
