France today voiced sharp concern at news that Iran has test fired two long-range missiles and demanded Tehran immediately stop its deeply destabilising activities. The French foreign ministry said that they are urging Iran to choose the path of cooperation rather than confrontation, by immediately ceasing these deeply destabilising activities. It said that these missile tests can only heighten the concerns of countries in the region and of the international community. The Iranian exercises coincide with heightened tension with the West after the UN nuclear watchdog revealed on Friday that Tehran was building a second uranium enrichment plant.
