France deeply concerned over Iranian missile launches

PARIS, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- France was deeply concerned over the newly-launched missiles by Iran and urged it to stop the "provocative" actions, the foreign ministry said on Monday.

The recent launch of two intermediate-range missiles reinforced the unease of the Mideast countries and the international community, Foreign Ministry deputy spokeswoman Christine Fages said in a statement.

She called on Iran to take a co-operative attitude on its nuclear issue and stop nuclear-related actions.

The position of the international community over Iran's nuclear issue is very clear, and it is time for Iran to make a choice, Fages added.

Iranian TV reported on Monday that the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) successfully test-fired its home-made Sejil and Shahab-3 missiles overnight, both having an intermediate-range between 1,300 km and 2,000 km.
