Le chef d’\u00e9tat-major fran\u00e7ais, le g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Bentegeat, a fait (le 18 janvier) des d\u00e9clarations sans ambigu\u00eft\u00e9 concernant la possibilit\u00e9 de l’usage de la force contre l’Iran, pour la repousser avec v\u00e9h\u00e9mence.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\tLe rapport de cette intervention selon nos sources internes : \u00ab Using military force against Iran to prevent it pursuing its nuclear programme would be completely mad, the chief of France’s defence staff said on Wednesday. General Henri Bentegeat said the idea of Iran possessing a nuclear weapon was a real nightmare but added that the way for a negotiated solution remained open. I don’t think it would be reasonable to envisage military action against Iran to prevent it having this nuclear programme, Bentegeat told Europe 1 radio. That would create a dreadful drama in the Middle East … I think that at the moment it would be completely mad, he said. Maybe one day we will get to that point. But today it is exclusively the diplomats who are having their say. There are still paths of negotiation which have not been explored, Bentegeat said. Russia in particular is offering help to find a solution to the problem. Russia has proposed a compromise under which Iran would send its uranium to Russia for enrichment.<\/em> \u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tCette intervention est \u00e0 rapprocher de celle de l’amiral Sir Alan West<\/a>, chef de la Royal Navy, mais sans en faire une \u00e9quivalence. Si l’on tient compte des rapports entre les militaires des deux pays et leurs hi\u00e9rarchies respectives, et des politiques respectives dans la crise irakienne et dans la question de l’activisme belliciste inspir\u00e9 des Am\u00e9ricains, on verra l’intervention de Bentegeat sous un jour diff\u00e9rent. L’hypoth\u00e8se est qu’elle s’est faite plus ou moins avec le soutien des autorit\u00e9s politiques, pour permettre une r\u00e9affirmation d’une politique par le biais de son aspect technique. Du c\u00f4t\u00e9 de West, il s’agit de la m\u00eame d\u00e9marche technique mais qui tend plut\u00f4t \u00e0 prendre date par rapport aux impulsions bellicistes possibles de Tony Blair, dont on conna\u00eet la tendance au \u00ab global machismo<\/em> \u00bb (selon Simon Jenkins<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 19 janvier 2006 \u00e0 07H42<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Le chef d’\u00e9tat-major fran\u00e7ais, le g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Bentegeat, a fait (le 18 janvier) des d\u00e9clarations sans ambigu\u00eft\u00e9 concernant la possibilit\u00e9 de l’usage de la force contre l’Iran, pour la repousser avec v\u00e9h\u00e9mence.
