I was profoundly shocked by the statements of the Iranian president, which are totally senseless and irresponsible,

These statements, presented as medical, are in fact texts devised by the patient, those close to him, his aides, ... authentic.

Romania and Bulgaria were particularly irresponsible. If they wanted to diminish their chances of joining Europe they could not have found a better way.

These irresponsible acts, which cannot have any justification whatsoever, are to be fully condemned. In these appalling circumstances, I want to offer you the most sincere condolences, both in my name and in that of the French people.

They are totally different statements and are dishonest.

The president was very shocked to learn about this.
