On the question of Iran’s nuclear weapons capability, Americans and Europeans also fundamentally agree: it should be prevented. While the US tries to achieve this through hard power, regime change, sanctions, and threats of pre-emptive military intervention, Europe uses soft power, diplomacy, inclusion, and partnership.
在伊朗制造核武的能力问题上，欧美双方的根本立场是一致的：应该防止。当美国试图通过硬权力、改变政权、制裁和以先发制人的武装干涉相威胁来达到其目的时，欧洲却采用了软权力、外交、接触和伙伴关系的策略。
