Iran deal to help rid region of WMDs: Arab League

Arab League chief Nabil Al Arabi said on Wednesday a historic nuclear deal between Iran and world powers is a first step to ridding the Middle East of weapons of mass destruction.

The head of the Cairo-based pan-Arab bloc expressed hopes the accord reached on Tuesday would usher in "stability and security" in the volatile region.

Arabi also called on the international community to put pressure on Israel to declare that it has nuclear facilities.

The nuclear deal struck between Iran and six world powers in Vienna was a "first step to free the Middle East from weapons of mass destruction," he said in a statement.

to take his remarks as serious and reflective of sanity on the part of the Arab League. There are many unconditional supporters of Israel, both at DU and in the US government, who have no problems with Israel possessing nuclear weapons even as they condemn any attempts by any other Middle Eastern country to acquire nuclear capability.
