At worst, nuclear weapons would serve Iran’s “revolutionary” foreign policy in the region, which the country’s leaders have pursued since the birth of the Islamic Republic in 1979. The combination of an anti-status quo foreign policy and nuclear weapons and missiles is a nightmare not only for Israel, which at least has second-strike capabilities, but also for Iran’s non-nuclear Arab neighbors and Turkey.
最坏的结果则是核武将为伊朗自1979年建立伊斯兰共和国以来一直追求的“革命”外交政策助加一把力。这个反现状外交政策以及核武器/导弹的结合体不仅将成为以色列的噩梦（该国至少还有二次打击能力），连那些没有核武器的阿拉伯邻国以及土耳其都岌岌可危。
