peace and security. This has led to support several treaties

international organizations to prohibit and prevent the proliferation of mass destruction weapons, in particular nuclear weapons, in order to establish security and stability
in the world and to defy the Middle East. The efforts of
the European Union in this area are highlighted through
its constant efforts to resolve the nuclear issue in a peaceful manner, through its soft power and by allowing Iran to
use nuclear energy but for the most peaceful was purposes. The European Union’s foreign and security policy is
