Ex-Obama Aides Dismiss Iran Nuke

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- A U.S. think tank regarded as close to the
administration of President Barack Obama has played down the repercussions
of an Iranian nuclear weapons arsenal.
The Center for a New American Security asserted that Iran's nuclear
weapon program would not spark an arms race in the Middle East. The
Washington-based center, in a report by two former senior Defense Department
aides, dismissed the prospect that Egypt, Saudi Arabia or Turkey would
develop atomic bombs.
