Iran Deal "a Catalyst for Regional Stability"

By John Lee.

A spokesman for Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi (pictured) has said that the nuclear deal announced on Tuesday between Iran and world powers will be "a catalyst for regional stability."

Saad al-Hadithi told the Associated Press that it will lead to better unity in the fight against terrorism.

But Hamid al-Mutlaq, an Iraqi Sunni lawmaker, was more cautious, saying "we hope now to see a positive Iranian interference, not a negative one in the region, and to change the way it sees and deals with people of the regional countries."
