"We certainly cannot support the position adopted by Iran, which promises ‘tougher measures’ in the event of the nuclear question being referred to the United Nations Security Council, and even a step backwards with regard to the commitments it has entered into on this delicate matter.
Concerns about the use of nuclear weapons by a country that is a leading proponent of Islamic fundamentalism are certainly well-founded.
However, that must not keep us from recognising the right of every people – including, therefore, the Iranian people – to develop as fully as possible their own economic and technological potential, and to defend their own territory. From this point of view, Europe cannot ignore the geopolitical facts of the situation, namely that, to the east of Iran, countries such as China, North Korea, Russia, India and, not least, Pakistan not only possess atomic weaponry, but also have the capability to use it at long distances."@en1
