This is a very interesting development. Who is really telling the truth?

France has denied reports claiming that French President Nicolas Sarkozy is very critical of U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama's positions on Iran.

According to reports that reached Israel's government earlier this week, Sarkozy made his criticisms only in closed forums in France.

But according to a senior Israeli government source, the reports reaching Israel indicate that Sarkozy views the Democratic candidate's stance on Iran as "utterly immature" and comprised of "formulations empty of all content."

The Obama campaign responded furiouly to the reports and the French embassy in Washington issued a statement saying:

"The remarks attributed by the newspaper Haaretz to the president of the French Republic concerning Senator Obama's positions on Iran are groundless," said the statement.
