Iranian Nuclear Weapon Unacceptable, War Possible, French Foreign Minister Says

The issue over nuclear weapons in Iran continues to heat up as the French Froeign Minister lays down his terms, bluntly.


The world should brace for a possible war over the Iranian nuclear crisis but seeking a solution through talks should take priority, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said on Sunday.



"We have to prepare for the worst, and the worst is war," he said in an interview broadcast on French television and radio.



"We must negotiate right to the end," with Iran, he said, but underlined that if Tehran possessed an atomic weapon, it would represent "a real danger for the whole world."



Calling the nuclear standoff "the greatest crisis" of present times, the minister said: "We will not accept that the bomb is manufactured," and hinted that military plans were on the way.
