Iran nuclear deal to turn new page for regional ties, says UAE source

ABU DHABI, 15th July, 2015 (WAM) -- The nuclear deal with Iran could provide a true opportunity for a new chapter in regional relations and the Iranian role in the region, a UAE official source has said. "Iran could play a (significant) role in the region if it revises its policy and stops interfering in the internal affairs of countries like Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Yemen," the official told Agence France Presse (AFP) yesterday. "The new direction we hope to see accompanying the historic nuclear deal would be for Iran to demonstrate a genuine desire to help extinguish fires devouring the region," the official said. "This would move the region away from the discord of sectarianism, extremism and terrorism," added the official. – Emirates News Agency, WAM – http://www.wam.ae/en/news/emirates/1395283297636.html
