Sarkozy at UN says letting Iran go nuclear could cause war
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Allowing Iran to acquire nuclear weapons could destabilize the world and could lead to war, French President Nicolas Sarkozy told the United Nations on Tuesday.In his maiden speech to the U.N. General Assembly, Sarkozy said: "There will be no peace in the world if the international community falters in the face of nuclear arms proliferation. "If we allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons, we would incur an unacceptable risk to stability in the region and in the world," he said, adding in a general warning: "Weakness and renunciation do not lead to peace: they lead to war." Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. Posted by: Sherry 2007-09-25 |
