    KOUCHNER: ISRAEL WILL STRIKE IRAN BEFORE IT IS ABLE TO DEVELOP NUCLEAR WEAPONS

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner warned
    that Israel will strike archfoe Iran before it is able to develop
    nuclear weapons, in comments published on Sunday.

    "I honestly don't believe (a nuclear weapon) will give any immunity to
    Iran," Kouchner said in an interview with Israel's Haaretz newspaper
    during a two-day visit to the region.

    "First, because you will hit them before. And this is the
    anger. Israel has always said it will not wait for the bomb to be
    ready. I think that (the Iranians) know. Everyone knows," he said.

    The newspaper's print edition quoted Kouchner as saying that Israel
    would "eat" Iran, but in a written statement the Foreign Minister
    said he had used the word "hit," and that he regretted any "phonetic
    confusion".

    Kouchner told Haaretz he hoped tough diplomacy and sanctions would
    persuade Iran to halt its uranium enrichment program, which Israel and
    many Western countries believe is aimed at developing nuclear weapons.

    "Iran with an atomic bomb is unacceptable at all... Talking, talking
    talking, and offering dialogue, sanctions, sanctions, sanctions. Is
    the alternative to bomb first - I think not," he said, the AFP reports.
