Iran criticizes France's position on nuclear program
Mohammad Khazaee, Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations, criticized the viewpoint of his French colleague on Iran's nuclear program.
"Iran always intended to develop nuclear energy to satisfy its needs, with the issue presented in IAEA reports," he said, noting that the statement of French representative could force Non- proliferation Treaty member states withdraw from the treaty.
Earlier, Gérard Araud, Permanent Representative of France to the United Nations voiced French governments intention to prepare draft resolution on strengthening sanctions on Iran.
