Force against Iran would be destabilizing
Military attacks on Iran's nuclear program could create a "totally destabilizing" situation in the region, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said on Sunday, saying France would instead harden sanctions.  

"We can still strengthen them (sanctions) to put pressure on Iran and we are going to continue along this path because a military intervention could create a totally destabilizing situation in the region," Juppe told Europe 1 radio.   

"We must do everything to avoid the irreparable," he said.   

Last week, President Nicolas Sarkozy criticized what he called Iran's "obsessional desire" to develop nuclear weapons and said France would not stand idly by if Israel were threatened.   

Western powers suspect Tehran of trying to develop nuclear weapons and have imposed sanctions in an attempt to curb its programme. Iran denies seeking nuclear weapons and says its atom programme is for power generation.
