Abstract
The successful conclusion of the comprehensive nuclear deal between Iran and the P5+1 (China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States) countries in July 2015 has destabilised the staunch argument in favour of European missile defense system which was initiated by the United States. The concept of a missile defense emanated from a potentially ‘nuclearised’ Iran with intercontinental missile capabilities and in Asia from a nuclear missile threat from North Korea.
