Oh this story is rich with irony. :)
Iran on Monday accused French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner of stoking a crisis after he said France must prepare for the possibility of war over Tehran's disputed nuclear program.
The official IRNA news agency quoted Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini as saying Kouchner's remarks were not in line with European Union policies.
What? Do you mean that they are showing some backbone and won't put up with your line of bullshit because they are tired of appeasing threats against the safety and security of their citizens? It's THAT the "policy" you're speaking of?
In a commentary on Monday, IRNA accused France of "extremism," an apparent reference to Kouchner's statement.
Pot, meet kettle.
But the best part was that the French Foreign Minister was backed up by the Prime Minister of France:
French Prime Minister Francois Fillon said on Monday that everything must be done to avoid war with Iran, but added that Kouchner was right to say the situation was dangerous and must be taken seriously.
It looks like they're getting tired of being pushed around and threatened Iran.
