Pakistan is worth invoking when assessing whether the sanctions now imposed on Iran will force it to surrender its nuclear program. In 1965, Pakistani Foreign Minister Zulficar Ali Bhutto famously declared that if India, its sworn enemy, went nuclear, his country would “eat grass and even go hungry” in order to develop a nuclear bomb of its own.
看待对伊朗实施的制裁能否够迫使其放弃核计划之时，巴基斯坦值得援引。1965年，巴基斯坦外交部长佐勒菲卡尔·阿里·布托高调宣布，如果印度这个不共戴天的敌人实现核武器化，巴基斯坦将“吃草，甚至挨饿”来开发自己的核炸弹。今天，巴基斯坦，一个濒临解体、近乎失败的国家，拥有比印度更多的核弹头。
