France says sanctions
against the Islamic Republic over its peaceful nuclear energy program
will be toughened, claiming that Tehran does not take the negotiations
seriously.
“Sanctions will continue to be toughened as long as Iran refuses
serious negotiations,” French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said on
Tuesday.
The French official added that pressure on Tehran would be increased
with the full implementation of the European Union oil sanction against
Iran as of July 1.
The comments come after Iran and P5+1 -- Britain, China, France,
Russia and the United States plus Germany - wrapped up two days of their
latest round of talks in the Russian capital of Moscow on June 19.
The UK and France have announced plans to strengthen their bans on Tehran.
