French Foreign Ministry: War with Iran is inevitable if a nuclear deal is not signed soon

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot warned that if world powers were unable to quickly reach a new agreement with Iran over its contested nuclear programme then a military confrontation seemed “almost inevitable”, Reuters writes.

“The window of opportunity is narrow. We only have a few months until the expiration of this accord,” Barrot told a parliamentary hearing.

Barrot added that new EU sanctions on Iran, linked to the arrest of foreign nationals in the Islamic Republic, would also be approved in the coming weeks.
