“France needs to demonstrate its willingness for the deal to be concluded in the next few weeks and use its capabilities in peaceful nuclear energy, aviation, rail transportation and agriculture as leverage with US and Iran to get the economic boost and employment that (it) badly needs,” Nathalie Goulet said in an email interview with the Tasnim News Agency.

She was referring to the nuclear talks between Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) with the aim of reaching a lasting agreement on Tehran’s civilian nuclear program.
