Arab League Secretary General Ahmad Aboul Gheit said that the possible understanding between the United States and Iran in the ongoing nuclear negotiations in Vienna, “does not end” the Iranian nuclear threat, calling on Tehran to stop its “adventures” on Arab land, and to refrain from using Arab files to pressure the Western world and Israel.
“This understanding does not end the Iranian nuclear threat, but only freezes it for several years,” he said. “The Arab world needs assurances from two sides - Iran and Israel - that the threat of nuclear armament must be abandoned. For 40 years, the Arab world has been demanding the declaration of the Middle East as a zone free of nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction… This is a key point.”
