“I wish to mention that Israeli nuclear activities are very disturbing and threatening to us,” Moussa said in response to statements made by EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Catherine Ashton on the alleged threats posed by Iran’s nuclear activities.

“We should not speak only about Iran, but be unconcerned about military and nuclear adventurism in the Middle East,” the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) quoted the Arab League chief as saying as he referred to Israel’s hundreds of nuclear warheads.

“If we are against any nuclear actions, we [should stop] mentioning only one country,” he added

“The relation between us and Europe is indeed [one of an] old history and common destiny,” he said. “Since there is a common destiny, then the threat to our own security is very important. We have to be fair and objective and strategic about what we do.”

Moussa expressed support for international talks with Iran and called for help to establish diplomatic negotiations and to prove that Iran’s nuclear case is not a threat to the region.

Citing “concerns” over Iran’s domestic capabilities to enrich uranium, The US and its allies accuse Iran of the “intention” to enrich uranium to weapons-grade levels and have gone to great lengths to prevent the country from producing fuel for its medical and industrial needs.

World powers, most of which possess and continue to develop vast nuclear arsenals that have been tested and even used in military confrontations, have been lobbying for a “symbolic” tightening of economic measures against the Tehran government.

As a signatory of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, Islamic Iran insists that it neither believes in atomic weapons, nor, as a matter of religious principles, does it intend to access such weapons of mass-destruction.
