Jacques Chirac is on a "peace-keeping" mission to Teheran in an effort to save French troops stationed in Lebanon. In the process, he is undermining France's agreement with both the U.S. and England to take part in international sanctions. The UK's Con Coughlin gives his take:
At the time I got the tip about Douste-Blazy I put a call into the Quai d-Orsay, the home of the French foreign ministry, which categorically denied he had any such plans to go to Teheran.
Now it appears the Quai was being economical with the truth. Douste-Blazy had indeed been asked to visit Iran by his president, but managed to persuade his boss that such a visit might be taken as a sign of weakness by the Iranians.
According to my sources in Paris, Chirac remains keen to open up a unilateral diplomatic track with Teheran, and a high-level French visitation to the Iranian capital remains on the cards.
So why the sudden volte face? The reason for the Elysee's dramatic policy shift stems from Chirac's concern about the welfare of the 2,000 French troops who are serving in the United Nations peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon.
The French are there to prevent Hizbollah, the Iranian-backed Lebanese militia, from re-establishing its power base in the area – the cause of last summer's Israel-Lebanon war which cost more than a thousand lives.
Chirac believes that by cozying up to Teheran he can protect his troops from being blown up by suicide truck bombs, as happened to a previous generation of French troops who were sent to Lebanon in the 1980s as part of a multi-national peacekeeping force.
I love the phrase "economical with the truth" as it pretty much encapsulates France's conduct in matters of international relations.
