Paris, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 23rd May, 2018 ) :French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said Wednesday that the United States risks further destabilising the middle East after Washington warned Iran faced the "strongest sanctions in history".

"The sanctions to be launched against Iran will not foster dialogue, on the contrary, they will boost the importance and power of Iran's conservatives and weaken president (Hassan) Rouhani, who wanted to negotiate," Le Drian told France Inter radio. "Finally, this stance is likely to put the region in further danger than it is today."
