However, if Iran were allowed to become a nuclear weapons state, it should be done by agreement with the five “legal” nuclear powers (the US, Russia, Britain, France, and China) – that is, by an officially sanctioned enlargement of the nuclear club, which would include India, Pakistan, and Israel. This would be the best way to bind Iran to acceptable rules of behavior.
.但是，如果伊朗被允许成为一个拥有核武器的国家，这可以通过和五个“合法”拥有核武器的国家（美国，俄罗斯，英国，法国和中国）达成协议来完成——也就是说，通过正式认可的方式扩大核俱乐部，该俱乐部也将包括印度、巴基斯坦和以色列。这是约束伊朗按照可接受的规则行为的最好方法。至少，我们应该清楚军事干涉是第三优选择（也就是说，是最糟的选择）。如果另两个选择失败，或许我们会被迫使用第三优选择，但是现在考虑它绝对是错误的。
