Chirac holds Iran ‘partially responsible’ for Middle East conflict

Agence France Presse, Paris – French President Jacques Chirac said Wednesday that he held Iran partially responsible for the Israel-Lebanon conflict, in an interview with Le Monde newspaper.
 
"In the current conflict, Iran is partially responsible. Information we have proves that sophisticated weapons and financing are sent by Iran, via Syria in all probability, to Hezbollah. It’s a problem," he said.
