Sarkozy warns Iran it risks ‘catastrophe’ of Israeli strike
French President Nicolas Sarkozy warned Iran on Thursday that its determination to press on with its controversial nuclear drive risked an Israeli strike that would be a “catastrophe.”
“Iran is taking a major risk by continuing the process of seeking nuclear technology for military ends,” Sarkozy said at a four-way summit in Damascus with the leaders of Syria, Qatar and Turkey.
“Because one day, no matter which Israeli government is in power, one morning we will awake to find Israel has attacked,” Sarkozy said on the second day of a landmark visit to Syria.
