Nuclear threat from the Middle East grows

The agreement at the Nuclear Security Summit to boost protection against nuclear threats from terrorists is deceptive, write the left-liberal La Repubblica, because Iran is not among the signatories: "The mechanism US President Obama has dreamed up will never really become effective as long as the Grand Ayatollah Khamenei and his circle of millenialists. The danger is that the entire Arab world equips itself with nuclear weapons following Tehran's example. Out of fear and also for many other reasons the regimes that border on Iran could never accept the position of weakness which a Persian nuclear missile would put them in. ... The impressive machinery of hope that was presented by 47 states yesterday will begin to falter without the presence of the 48th state, Iran."
