Iran summons French envoy over Kouchner comments

Kouchner last month sparked controversy by saying the world should prepare for a war with Iran. On Tuesday he said the situation in Iran was dangerous and that a nuclear-armed Iran would make the Middle East situation even more complicated. IRNA said the Foreign Ministry lodged Wednesdays protest after provocative and unrealistic comments by French political officials, especially the extreme remarks by French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner.
