France said on Friday that if talks with Iran on Nov. 29 appeared to be a "sham" then

"The first check we will have to do is whether we are continuing the discussion where it left off in June with the previous Iranian administration," Jean-Yves Le Drian said in an

interview with le Monde, referring to when negotiations resume on Nov. 29 between Iran and world powers.

"If this discussion is a sham, then we will have to consider the JCPoA Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) empty."
