Sarkozy: No Nuclear Weapon for Iran

Nicolas Sarkozy Addressing UN General Assembly

French President Nicolas Sarkozy told UN General Assembly today that it would be unacceptable for the Islamic Republic to get hold of nuclear bomb.

“Allowing Iran to have nuclear weapons would mean an unacceptable risk for regional and world stability,” Sarkozy said.

Sarkozy's comments came just hours before Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was due to address the UN. The speech by the French president was received with loud applause from the rest of the assembly.
