"Mr President, I am not an admirer of the Iranian Islamic Republic, but there are many repressive countries in the world and some of them are the West’s allies. Iran has been involved in only one war in recent decades, with Iraq. It is widely accepted that Iraq was the instigator of that conflict. I am afraid I cannot judge whether Iran has only a civil nuclear programme, but the claims about Iraq proved to be unfounded.
There is a certain irony in the fact that many of Iran’s critics, the United States and Israel among them, have been involved in conflicts in the past and have nuclear weapons. I am sceptical about the foreign policy priorities of the United States, though I must say the present administration is showing more restraint than its republican predecessor. I am no supporter of the European External Action Service or of the position of High Representative. However, if an agreement between the United States and Iran, encouraged by Baroness Ashton, prevents conflict and normalises relations it, and she, must be applauded."@en1
