Iran big winner from region’s turmoil: Arab league head

Dubai, AFP, 1 May 2017 – Arab League chief Ahmed Abul Gheit warned Monday that Iran is the main beneficiary of turmoil across the Arab world, which he described as the worst he has ever seen.

“I have never seen anything worse than what we are now seeing,” Abul Gheit said at the Arab Media Forum in Dubai.

“Iran is enjoying what the Arab world is going through. There are those in Iran who are watching and waiting for us to destroy ourselves.”

Ties between Iran and Arab states have grown increasingly tense in recent years, with Tehran backing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Yemen’s Shiite Houthi militia and armed Shiite groups in Iraq.

Long-stalled peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians have been overshadowed by global concerns over the Syrian war and ISIS.
