Sarkozy: Missile Threat Today Comes from Iran
(AFP) France's President Nicolas Sarkozy said Saturday that Iran poses the main threat that NATO's planned anti-missile defense shield is designed to foil. "No name appears in the documents made public by NATO, but let's call a spade a spade: today's missile threat, it's Iran," Sarkozy said at the NATO summit in Lisbon. The 28-member alliance had earlier agreed on a plan to design a network of radars and interceptor rockets to shoot down missiles targeted at NATO member states, and to invite Russia to take part. NATO member Turkey insisted that Iran not be singled out as a threat in official policy documents.
