NCRI – The announcement by the mullahs’ regime in Iran stating that they have in fact achieved industrial grade uranium enrichment process has the countries in the region concerned over the objectives of the Iranian nuclear program.
Samer Ali, Kuwait’s Deputy Chief for National Security described the Iranian regime’s nuclear program and its atomic power plants as a “threat to the security of the region.”
“Persian Gulf countries should acquire methods to deal with dangers of Iran’s nuclear program, in order to protect their own interests,” stressed Samer Ali, speaking at the Strategic Studies Seminar held at the University of Kuwait.
The Iranian nuclear threat to the region was also addressed by other speakers at the seminar.
A Kuwaiti Parliamentary delegation visiting Emirates and Bahrain also expressed grave concerns over Iran’s nuclear program.
Muslim ElBrak, an MP in the Kuwait’s parliament, said that during his trip with the Kuwaiti authorities to the Persian Gulf countries, he met with Parliamentarians from Emirates and Bahrain and warned them about the dangers of nuclear confrontations with Iran.
“We are asking all members of the Persian Gulf Council Cooperation to take steps toward dealing with Iranian regime’s nuclear plans,” said ElBrak.
In Egypt, Al Ahram, the Egyptian official daily also commented that, “By announcing the production of industrial grade nuclear fuel, the Iranian regime is pushing the region in to a dangerous path of nuclear race.”
“Egypt’s warning comes from the mindset that it doesn’t think a nuclear race is in the interest of the countries in the region because it would definitely lead to war in the Middle east,” warns Al-Ahram.
“The Iranian regime’s persistence to continue with its nuclear program, despite the Security Council resolutions and regional efforts to prevent a crisis, are indications that this regime is still continuing with its confrontational policies,” writes Al-Ahram.
