". Mr President, the regime in the Islamic Republic is under heavy pressure, both externally and internally. Even the authority of Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader, is being openly discussed. Right now, the opportunity is presenting itself for the international community to steer Iran away from its misguided nuclear path. It is perhaps the last such opportunity. High Representative, you are personally aware of how extremely difficult it is to bring about truly serious negotiations with Tehran. I really hope that you will find a united transatlantic – did you hear that, Ms Schaake? I said transatlantic – front behind you in 2012. That transatlantic front does not, at this point in time, suffer from any divisions over the Persian Gulf. Think of the assistance that the United Kingdom and France have given to the US navy, despite all the hawkish rhetoric and provocation on Iran’s part. This transatlantic position also supports the International Atomic Energy Agency’s inspection regime. That is the current test case for Tehran, as asserted by none other than Ali Larijani, current chair of the Iranian parliament, just yesterday. Baroness Ashton, the contours of the Islamic schism between Sunnis and Shi’ites are on full display in the Middle East once again. Iran’s nuclear ambitions threaten to bring about a nuclear arms race. Your job, Europe’s job, is to help prevent that disastrous scenario."@en1
