What Imam Khamenei recommended France?

France has played a significant role in Iran and Powers nuclear negotiations in Genève.

Mehr News quoted the media reports on the role played by the French foreign minister Laurent Fabius, who demanded concession by Iran in its nuclear rights and more sanctions against the country.

A labor division between Israel and France came after anti-Iranian policies supported by Nicolas Sarkozy, former French president, displayed a rising curve.

The Supreme Leader, speaking in March 2013 in shrine of Imam Reza (as), criticized France’s hostile policies. “… Some other countries have been hostile. Here, I take for granted the opportunity to say that French officials have been in a track leading to open animosity toward Iranians as well in few recent years; this is an act of imprudence by the French government officials. A rational politician would never be motivated to reduce a nation to an enemy who is not. We had no issues with France; neither in the past, nor at present; but improper policies since the incumbency of Sarkozy- which unfortunately French present government goes on the same track- have been animosity toward Iranians. We believe it to be imprudent, irrational behavior.”
