Does France have information that Israel is preparing a strike against Iran?
Like you, we have heard the statements that were made by a certain number of Israeli public figures and government officials both confirming and denying that assertion. You heard what the President said about this possibility: It must be avoided at all cost. You know how strongly he exhorted Iran to respond to the demands issued by the Security Council and the international community. […]What we want is to avoid the choice of the Iranian bomb or bombing Iran. It would be a catastrophic choice, as the President has said. The President mentioned differences between himself and President Assad. What are they? I can talk to you about France’s positions. Bashar al-Assad expressed Syria’s positions during the press conference and other occasions. What I can tell you is that the President wanted Syria to commit to continuing on the path of normalization with Lebanon following the decisions that have already been taken, particularly the exchange of ambassadors within the announced time-frame.
