In the meantime, a major effort must be launched to assuage the concerns of Iran’s neighbors, several of which will be tempted to hedge their bets against Iran’s potential breakout in 15 years by pursuing nuclear programs of their own.

与此同时，应该采取重大措施平息伊朗邻国的忧虑。其中一些国家有可能追求自身的核武器计划，以此防范伊朗在15年后可能取得的突破。中东的局面已经足够混乱，无法在承受有可能冒出多个潜在核力量的局面。奥巴马宣称该协议“阻止了核武器在该地区的传播”是不成熟的。
