France, Israel move to block nuclear deal with Iran
The nuclear talks between Iran and P5+1 are stalled due to objections from the French who are demanding tougher interim agreement. Western diplomats are telling the Associated Pressthat the ”French holding out for conditions on the Iranians tougher than those agreed to by the U.S.” This is because France ( regardless of its new government) has had the most pro-Israeli position on Iran. The French President Hollandewas expected to travel to Israel in late November for a three-day state visit. Despite the last minute obstruction by the French, they will not be able to block the deal since U.S., UK, Germany, and the EU are inclined to go ahead with the agreement.
