    Iran's nuclear enrichment programme has no civilian purpose and is dragging it into a dangerous confrontation with the international community, France's President Nicolas Sarkozy said Friday.

    "The International Atomic Energy Agency underlines the rapid and worrying progress in Iran's nuclear enrichment programme, which everyone knows has no civilian end purpose," he told foreign diplomats based in Paris.

    "The moment is coming when Iran's leaders will have to make a choice," he warned, as part of an annual foreign policy address.

    "Either they provoke a serious confrontation with the international community or, and this is what France wants, we come to a negotiated deal in these talks which have been going on for, mark this, five years."

    France, along with Britain, China, Germany, Russia and the United States, forms part of the six-nation contact group attempting to persuade Tehran to stand down its programme to enrich uranium in industrial quantities.

    "I think that Iran is going to be one of our biggest challenges," he said in an ABC News interview broadcast Sunday, warning a nuclear-armed Iran "could potentially trigger a nuclear arms race in the Middle East."

    Washington (AFP) Jan 8, 2009
    Incoming US President Barack Obama will likely face a "serious crisis" over Iran's nuclear ambitions in his first year in office, former US defense secretary William Perry predicted here Thursday.

    Perry told a foreign policy forum here that Obama must find a new diplomatic approach to stop Iran's suspected nuclear arms quest because Israel -- which has held out the threat of military action -- will not "sit idly by."
