Iran has shares in French nuclear facility

This is indeed hypocritical and suicidally short-sighted of the French. By Rob Edwards in the Sunday Herald, with thanks to all who sent this in:

WESTERN GOVERNMENTS have been accused of "stunning hypocrisy" after it was revealed that Iran has a 10% stake in the world's largest uranium enrichment plant in France.

All the time that Britain, France and the US have been pressing the Iranian government to cease enriching uranium, the Islamic republic has been reaping multimillion pound dividends from its shareholding in Eurodif, an international enrichment plant at Pierrelatte in southern France.

Now - of course - the Iranians can cut a deal with the UK for the reprocessing of nuclear fuel for their French "investment" - as well as "sharing knowledge" gained from their "investment"

Just watching Amadjihad sobbing at the celebration of their nuclear milestone. I'm sure even the most delusional, BDS suffering, US-hating moonbat must be a little creeped out by whats going on in Iran right now.

Who said France was a friend to the US? France has NEVER been a real ally to the US. Remember all that ammo supplied to the North Vietnamese that was built by the French?
