Iran risks sanctions if ballistic missile issue not handled: France

France warns Iran must address concerns over its ballistic missile program or risk new sanctions.

The warning came from France's foreign minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian while talking to the Journal du Dimanche newspaper ahead of his visit to Tehran tomorrow.

He said Iran has programs of ballistic missiles that can reach several thousand kilometers which are not compatible with U.N. Security Council resolutions and exceed the sole need of defending the country's borders. Reuters
