France warns military conflict almost inevitable if Iran talks fail

France indicated this week that a military conflict could occur if nuclear talks with Iran fail. This statement highlights increased worries about Iran's nuclear program among European leaders. French Foreign Minister Barrot stated a military confrontation would be almost inevitable if an agreement isn't reached. He made this remark during a parliamentary session on Wednesday. France and other European countries are pushing for a deal by summer, with UN sanctions expiring in October 2025. The original deal limited Iran's nuclear activities.
