lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Baroness Ashton, I have to say that I think the sanctions that the EU has imposed on Iran are a sign of our responsibility and moral stature. I think it is important that we are united in supporting these sanctions. That is how we will get others to follow suit, as Australia has done, for example. I am surprised that the opposition to these sanctions, here in the European Parliament for example, has been so great. I expected unanimous support. Iran’s sabre-rattling is not a sign of failure, but rather it is a sign that the sanctions entail consequences. I do not understand those who are opposed to these sanctions. Who in the Iranian opposition have they actually spoken to? I have met with and spoken to members of the opposition and they welcome the fact that we are getting tough with Iran. No one want to punish the Iranian people, but the actions of the regime have consequences. Unreasonable behaviour that goes against the united view of the international community must have consequences. There is a cost, and there must be a cost, which is what we are demonstrating with our sanctions. This is welcome, therefore."@en1
