"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Baroness Ashton, it is difficult to be optimistic. If Tehran were to have nuclear weapons, it would seriously destabilise the area between the Mediterranean and the Caucasus and could trigger a nuclear arms race in neighbouring countries that for various reasons are afraid of Tehran, such as Saudi Arabia or Turkey. The latest Iranian Shahab-3 missiles can reach EU Member States such as Greece, Cyprus, Romania and Bulgaria, and would make the Tehran regime’s threat to destroy the State of Israel possible. A nuclear Iran really could block the Strait of Hormuz, making any political or military countermeasures extremely risky. We cannot afford a new North Korea in the Middle East. The new sanctions imposed by Europe are certainly a positive step, but time is running out to find a diplomatic solution to this crisis and avoid the military option."@en1
