Iran seems to prefer nukes to deal – French FM

Recent declarations from Iranian leaders seem to show the country prefers to keep its nuclear program than to reach an agreement with world powers on curbing the program, says a top French official.

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius says his country “wants a deal but wants the deal to be robust,” according to Reuters. “Since then there have been a number of statements that do not seem to go in that direction,” the French minister tells reporters.
