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 Press that 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 Hollande was 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.
