French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius Wary on Iran Nuclear Deal
(Wall Street Journal) Matthew Dalton - French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said a possible nuclear deal with Iran risks sparking a nuclear arms race in the Middle East unless the agreement grants international inspectors access to Iranian military sites and other secret facilities. Mr. Fabius insisted the ability to inspect such sites be part of a final agreement with Iran to ensure Tehran doesn’t covertly try to build a nuclear weapon. “The best agreement, if you cannot verify it, it’s useless,” said Mr. Fabius. At times, Mr. Fabius has taken a harder line than officials in Washington, warning in 2013 that the West risked being suckered into a “fool’s game.”
