French President Nicolas Sarkozy was on hand as the French unveiled their 4th and final le Triomphant class ballistic missile nuclear submarine on Friday.
President Nicolas Sarkozy, during the formal inauguration held at Cherbourg, Western France, of the nuclear submarine, "The Terrible", said that he plans to maintain a powerful nuclear program in response to the continuing nuclear attacks by some countries in Asia and the Middle East.
The French president cited countries in Middle East (Iran) and Asia (China and North Korea) who continue to develop ballistic missile capabilities which could reach Europe in less than a half-hour.
"I am thinking in particular of Iran. Iran is increasing the range of its missiles while grave suspicions hang over its nuclear program. Europe's security is at stake," the President was quoted as saying by National Public Radio.
