Similarly, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s moderate rhetoric, together with possible progress on Iran’s dispute with the West over its nuclear program, has left Turkey with a sense of uselessness, if not isolation.

类似地，由于伊朗总统鲁哈尼的温和论调，加上伊朗与西方关于其核计划的纠纷有望取得进展，土耳其大有无用（如果不是孤立的话）之感。如果一国感到自己在关键时刻被边缘化，它如何自认为以及被别人认为是至关重要的地区行动方？
