WASHINGTON - French Prime Minister Francois Fillon said on Friday that Iran faces global isolation unless it engages with the West on its nuclear program, but attacking Iran to prevent it from obtaining nuclear weapons was not an option.
"We have to do everything we could to avoid finding ourselves faced with the only solution of bombing Iran," he told a news conference through an interpreter. "
The only option is to pressure the Iranian government through diplomatic means, economic means, and financial means."
