Sarkozy advises against military strike on Iran

'The solution is never military'

PARIS (AP) — French President Nicolas Sarkozy says a military strike is not the way to deal with a nuclear threat from Iran.

Sarkozy was speaking Wednesday at the annual dinner honoring France's Jewish community.

He says Israel is a "miracle" and that "France will not compromise on its security." At the same time, he added, "The solution is never military."

Sarkozy also says it is "unacceptable" for Iran to acquire nuclear weapons as the international community fears it aims to do — despite Tehran's denials.

Israel considers Iran a threat and has not ruled out military action against sites in Iran suspected of working to build arms.
