Da questo punto di vista, l’Europa non può ignorare i dati geopolitici della questione e cioè che, ad est dell’Iran, paesi come la Cina, la Corea del Nord, la Russia, l’India e, non ultimo, il Pakistan non solo possiedono l’arma atomica, ma hanno anche i mezzi per usarla a distanza.
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.
