PARIS — France says it will seek more international sanctions against Iran after a damning new report from the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog.
A French Foreign Ministry spokesman, Eric Chevallier, says the report from the International Atomic Energy Agency is very worrisome.
The agency says in a report released yesterday that Iran has repeatedly blocked a U.N. investigation into allegations it tried to make nuclear weapons.
Mr. Chevallier read a statement to reporters today saying France now feels it has “no other choice” than to work in coming days and weeks toward new sanctions in the U.N. Security Council.
