Can't be a nuclear threat for a long time unless you and Chirac know something we don't.
Iran was not the impetus for the riots in France; French policy is. They are the most polite discriminatory society you will ever see. And the resentment for it is quite strong. They do not have a mobile society like ours. Over there you are condemned to a socio-economic position for life.
They like it that way and they like keeping their minorities in de place.

Persians are every bit as smart as Pakistanis, and they have a lot more money.

Correct. These riots were a very French affair. And Iranians in France are mostly wealthy.
