Arab League (AL) Secretary General Amr Moussa voiced here Wednesday an Arab stance against an unjustified war on Iran, saying it would pose a threat to the whole regional stability, Egypt's MENA news agency reported.
The Cairo-based AL is following up the dangerous Iranian nuclear file and "if the situation deteriorated and there was a real threat of war against Iran," Moussa was quoted as saying.
"The Arabs would adopt a unified stance against a war on Iran, which would pose a threat to the region as a whole," stressed the AL chief, lamming against hyping reports that war was knocking on the door.
In order to help solve the Iran file, Moussa called for holding an Arab-Iranian dialogue and not just a U.S.-Iranian one.
On Sunday, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said that his country had to prepare for a possibility of a war against Iran, following growing tensions over the Iranian nuclear file.
Washington has accused Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons under the cover of a civilian nuclear program. It has threatened to keep all options open, including military action, while promising to focus on diplomatic means to try to resolve the standoff.
Iran, which always denies U.S. charges, insists that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.
