Zitat:Iran nuclear crisis: France wants 'stricter' sanctions<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-16389858">http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-16389858</a><!-- m -->
France is convinced Iran is developing nuclear weapons and should face "stricter sanctions", Foreign Minister Alain Juppe has said. He urged EU countries to follow the US in freezing Iranian central bank assets and imposing an embargo on oil exports.
Iran has dismissed the threat of sanctions. On Tuesday, it denied that a record low of its currency was linked to US punitive measures. It also denies Western charges that it is trying to develop nuclear weapons. Tehran says its programme is peaceful - it needs nuclear technology to generate electricity to meet growing domestic demand.
