Nuclear-armed France and Israel are reluctant to see a settlement of Iran’s nuclear issue, a prominent analyst writes in a column for Press TV.
“Israel, the world's worst nuclear outlaw, played the key role. All sources agree that the Israelis pressured the French to torpedo an agreement that was approved by all other parties,” Kevin Barrett wrote on Wednesday.

He was referring to the recent nuclear talks held between Iran and six world powers - the US, France, Britain, Russia, China and Germany.

An agreement was close to being reached between the parties involved in the Geneva-hosted talks when France’s opposition scuttled the deal.

Barrett described France as one of the “worst nuclear criminal regimes” in the world, saying, “France's worst nuclear crime against humanity was helping Israel develop its massive nuclear arsenal.”

Barrett noted that France is “the most disproportionate nuclear power outside of Israel.”
“Obviously the French did not really believe that if the deal were signed, Israel would commit suicide by attacking Iran over the objections of the entire world community,” he wrote.
Noting that the Zionist regime of Israel is “the world's most dangerous nuclear menace”, Barrette said, “The P5+1 (world powers) talks should be targeting Israel's nuclear weapons program, not Iran's peaceful nuclear power program.”

He recommended France to “understand that the tide of history is turning against the Zionist” regime.

Iran and the six could not reach a deal over Tehran’s nuclear energy program in Geneva, but stressed that significant progress had been made and expressed optimism about the prospect of achieving a deal. The two sides agreed to continue negotiations on November 20 in the same venue.
