France is prepared to invite Iran to an international conference on Monday aimed at coordinating actions to knock out so-called "Daesh" [ISIL] in Iraq, despite that that runs counter to the US refusal to deal with Iran.
The position marks a shift in France’s policy toward Iran, a neighbor of Iraq that joins in adamantly opposing the advance of the extremist group Daesh.
A French official helping plan the conference says the only hitch is agreeing with partners, but added, "We are not far from a consensus." The official, who was not authorized to be publicly named, didn’t elaborate.
