Europeans more supportive on Iran

By Olivier Guitta

Two stories from The Croissant suggest a change of heart from our European allies on Iran:

- First, according to a recent poll, 52% of Europeans are FOR a military intervention to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

Second, from Al Sharq Al Awsat, an interesting analysis on Iran from a top French official

QUOTING A TOP FRENCH OFFICIAL:

I- War against Iran:

a) This official called for Iran to take seriously the possibility before the end of the year of a military strike against its nuclear facilities

b) Quoting a Gulf foreign minister: there is a 60% chance of a war by the end of the year

c) Any new Iranian provocation, whether nuclear or not, could speed up a military strike especially if Tehran accelerates his uranium enrichment

d) This official also warned Iran:

Iran is misled if it thinks that because of difficulties in Iraq, the US Army would not use military force against Iran.
