France Warns of War With Iran... Again!

L'Horreur!
The French are threatening military action against Iran, again!
The new French Foreign Minister under President Sarkozy is threatening the Iranians with military action if they do not suspend their nuclear weapons program.
The BBC reported:

French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner says the world should prepare for war over Iran's nuclear programme.

"We have to prepare for the worst, and the worst is war," Mr Kouchner said in an interview on French TV and radio.

Mr Kouchner said negotiations with Iran should continue "right to the end", but an Iranian nuclear weapon would pose "a real danger for the whole world".

Iran has consistently denied it is trying to acquire nuclear weapons but intends to carry on enriching uranium.

Mr Kouchner also said a number of large French companies had been asked not to tender for business in Iran.
Meanwhile, Iran again repeateed that suspension of nuclear enrichment is not negotiable.
Iranian Bazteb News reported:

Iran has said adoption of a new resolution at the Security Council will lead to a revision in its cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog.

"In case of the adoption of a new resolution against Iran by the UN Security Council, the Islamic Republic of Iran will make a revision in the level of its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency," Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini told domestic and foreign reporters at his weekly press conference Sunday.

...Asked about contradictory remarks made by German officials on the continuation of Iran-IAEA cooperation on one hand and the necessity to impose sanctions against Tehran on the other, the spokesman said, "It would be a positive and proper step, if the Germans back cooperation between Iran and the IAEA."

"But their support for imposing sanctions on Iran will be incorrect and insufficient," he added.

The spokesman also said the US efforts to block cooperation between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency will fail.

"Suspension of enrichment is not a negotiable topic," he stressed.

    More apocalyptic rhetoric from Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad suggesting Iranians are ready and willing to sustain nuclear war with "Islam's enemies" and usher in the coming of the Hidden Imam.

    excerpt:

    ["Any nation that can educate hundreds of thousands of people to be willing to martyr themselves [shehada] and to attain the height of martyrdom is invincible... Anyone who is willing to [set] martyrdom in the path of [his] ideals is always the victor. Being on the path is victory [in itself], and defeat on this path does not exist... The willingness to carry out shehada is an invincible weapon, that nothing can overcome.

    "You saw last summer how the Zionist regime, armed to the teeth, was defeated in the face of the young faithful of Hizbullah... God has not left us defenseless in the face of the front of arrogance [i.e. the West, led by the U.S.]. Our revolution and our state have an owner; God has set the Hidden Imam to support us... Martyrdom [shehada] is the shortest path to attain the height of human perfection. Those who have carried out martyrdom [i.e. the fallen shahids] are today looking at our behavior and illuminating the path of our nation like a floodlight..."]

    excerpt:

    [He praised Hizbullah fighters for their suicidal spirit during last summer's confrontation with Israel.

    Iran recruited thousands of suicide bombers, many of whom were children, and sent them to the frontline to face Saddam Hussein's army.

    "Suicide bombers in this land showed us the way, and they enlighten our future," he said.

    The Iranian president said the will to commit suicide was "one of the best ways of life."]

    "The atomic bomb is in contradiction with the Islamic Sharia law."

    Facing Down Iran

    excerpt:

    [“Iran’s hardline spiritual leaders have issued an unprecedented new fatwa,
    or holy order, sanctioning the use of atomic weapons against its enemies.”]

    Iranian fatwa approves use of nuclear weapons

    excerpt:

    [The pronouncement is particularly worrying because it has come from Mohsen Gharavian, a disciple of the ultra-conservative Ayatollah Mohammad Taghi Mesbah-Yazdi, who is widely regarded as the cleric closest to Iran's new president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

    Nicknamed "Professor Crocodile" because of his harsh conservatism, Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi's group opposes virtually any kind of rapprochement with the West and is believed to have influenced President Ahmadinejad's refusal to negotiate over Iran's nuclear programme.]

    Does anyone else find it strange to listen to the French threaten war?

    Truly, the apocalypse is upon us.
