France, putting aside his usual insistence on diplomacy, even when it is obvious to anyone who happens to be aware that not work, finally lost patience with the behavior with crackling Iranian centrifuges and has launched a unilateral attack on it .
As French mirage jets swooped down on Iranian nuclear facilities and the French troops began a ground assault from warships in the Persian Gulf, the United States and Britain expressed immediate objections.
President Bush said: "I do not understand why the French have gone ahead and attacked Iran without consulting us. It 's just the right not to do things without having to board your allies."
Tony Blair said, "I think President Chirac would give more time for diplomacy to work. After all, we know that will be 'at least a month or more before Iran has a nuclear bomb."
On the other hand, German Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed support for the French attack, saying: "I felt it was time for European leaders to act as highhandedly as Americans did in Iraq."
"Meanwhile, President Jacques Chirac has rejected the concerns of allies and promised to continue its policy of doing alone, declaring:" I was at my ranch in Bordeaux, where I understand Iran is even closer to France than it in America. Of course, you usually wait for America to lead a war we know is necessary for our safety. AND 'cheaper and more popular with French voters. But I decided that this is a war the French had to pay the bill, even without American and British approval.
The UN has not yet issued a comment on the strike prior French. At the time of writing, the Secretary-General Kofi Annan had just finished his morning coffee, a drink that has long been his name, and he was about to wander over to the General Assembly to determine whether the diplomats wanted to discuss the possibility to discuss the attack.
Along the way, he said: "One might think that Jacques would have at least given me some notice us. Although a lot of people have come to doubt the UN is still here."
