23 -- Iran has reacted strongly to comments by French President Jacques Chirac
that France could respond with nuclear weapons against any state-sponsored
terrorist attack.
Chirac's remarks, came after Germany, Britain and
France decided to refer Iran to the UN Security Council to face possible
sanctions, after the Islamic republic broke a deal it signed in Paris with the
three EU powers to halt nuclear activities.
Iranian Parliament Speaker, Gholamali Haddad Adel,
accused the French government of providing "a terrorist like Saddam Hussein"
with equipment, and said France was responsible for "the killing of innocent
people in Africa and Rwanda."
"The French government should continue, for many
years, trying to compensate for the massacre of one million Algerians, and to
compensate for the equipment they provided a terrorist like Saddam Hussein with,
during the imposed war with Iran. How can they speak of using nuclear weapons?"
France, Germany and Britain have led European efforts
to address concerns that Iran might seek to develop nuclear weapons - worries
that Tehran insists are unfounded.
Two weeks ago, Iran removed United Nations-placed
seals on its nuclear facility in Natanz after a two-year freeze.
