• The EU might also do well to see how Iran’s military adventurism in the region has escalated — and will continue to escalate unless it is stopped.
• If Iran acquires nuclear capability, it will no longer even have to use terrorism or hostage-taking — or even its new bombs — to blackmail Europe: the mere threat of using one should be sufficient.
• Will the EU please wake up in time and alter its dangerous policy towards Iran?
