Speech by Chirac conveys warning to Iran

摘要

Chirac says countries that would use terrorist means against France must understand that they would lay themselves open to a "firm " response. Without naming Iran, President Jacques Chirac, in a speech to French military forces on January 19, gave a clear warning to the Iranian leadership of the risk that its nuclear policy poses to France and beyond and described his country's own nuclear policy. "The end of the bipolar world has not removed threats to peace," Chirac said.
