". Mr President, the President of Iran tells us that his country, like any other, has a right to nuclear weapons. This might be true if Iran were a normal state, but it is not. It is a dictatorship that has openly challenged the right of one of its neighbours to exist. Consequently, Israel may well be the first target of Iranian aggression and it should have our guarantee of security right now. As things stand, the course of events in Iran depends on the world’s powers standing as one. This will be difficult to achieve, since Russia is seeking to profit from Iran’s nuclear programme and is selling weapons to Iran, as is China, while India is planning to build a gas pipeline from that country. It therefore falls to Europe to take the lead and play an active role in resolving the conflict. Will Europe prove up to the task of working out a common strategy with the United States, or will it succumb to the next delusion born of the fertile Iranian imagination in Teheran? If the UN Security Council is not equal to the task, if we fail to change Iran's policy through a programme of economic and financial sanctions, we should not be surprised to see fighter planes in the skies above Natanz or Isfahan at some point in the future."@en1
