France said on Wednesday it wanted to convene the UN Security Council and could push for unprecedented sanctions against Iran after an International Atomic Energy Agency report said Iran had worked to develop an atomic bomb design.

"Convening of the UN Security Council is called for," Foreign Minister Alain Juppe told RFI radio.

In a statement, Juppe said diplomatic pressure needed to be ramped up.

"If Iran refuses to conform to the demands of the international community and refuses any serious cooperation, we stand ready to adopt, with other willing countries, sanctions on an unprecedented scale," Juppe said.

Why? China and Russia will just veto it, anyway.

Besides, Netanyahu is always saying Iran's nuclear program is a threat to world peace and an existential threat to Israel. He's a liar according to the French president.

They are desperate to keep Iran from becoming a large glowing hole, this is the same BS they used to keep Israel from attacking once before.
