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.
