French President Nicolas Sarkozy has privately ripped Barack Obama‘s posture on Iran as “utterly immature,” according to a stunning report.
Sarkozy, who gushed over Obama when they met this summer, has said in private meetings that Obama’s views were “formulations empty of all content,” according to Israel’s Ha’aretz newspaper.
Sarkozy fears Obama would pursue direct, unconditional talks with Iran. He reportedly told Obama in their meeting that it would be “very problematic” if US policy toward Iran changes, “arrogantly” ignoring ongoing efforts.
