UNITED NATIONS, May 4 (Xinhua) -- France said here Tuesday that with Iran's continued "defiant attitude" amidst dialogue, there is no other option left except considering new UN Security sanctions.
"Together with its partners, France has made a number of far- reaching offers to Iran," Eric Danon, the French ambassador to the UN Conference on Disarmament, said in remarks on the second day of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review Conference.
"At present, the defiant attitude opted for by the Iranian government and ensuing concern on the part of the IAEA (the International Atomic Energy Agency), the countries in the region and the international community as a whole leave no option to the Security Council but to consider new sanctions to persuade Iran to negotiate," Danon said.
Danon reiterated the role of the P5+1, which is the permanent representatives of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council -- Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States -- plus Germany, who have been meeting in several rounds of discussion of the Iranian nuclear issue. The United States, together with France and other Western countries, are pushing for new sanctions against Iran for pursuing a clandestine nuclear weapon program. Tehran, however, insisted its nuclear programs are for peaceful purpose.
"To strength our joint efforts to prevent proliferation, it is essential, in addition, to give the IAEA the authority and the means it needs to fulfill its crucial verification mission," Danon said.
He also noted that in strengthening the non-proliferation regime, NPT universality is crucial.
"France would like our Review Conference to help lay the foundations of this new nuclear order by adopting an ambitious and pragmatic roadmap that may be implemented by 2015," Danon said.
