Re "France stirs debate over Iran stance," Nov. 11
The Iran nuclear issue can be resolved sanely through diplomacy instead of war if the negotiators from the six major world powers were to be guided by their own national interests.
Israel has been reckless in demanding that Iran cease all enrichment activities, a right Iran has under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. At the same time, it is insisting on the imposition of harsher sanctions, which could fatally damage the Iranian economy. Israel would benefit by having a weakened adversary to deal with.
France and the other countries involved are being used not to further their own national interests but rather those of Israel. Iran is certainly not an existential threat to France or the U.S.
