F French President Nicolas Sarkozy has warned that a military strike on Iran would “trigger war and chaos in the Middle East.”
His comments come days ahead of a European Union debate on possible oil sanctions against Tehran over its disputed nuclear program and with tensions seemingly escalating between Iran and the West.
