Arab region nukes volatilize Middle East

The Washington Post reports that Iran may have supplied former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi’s government with artillery shells for chemical weapons that have been kept secret for years. A US official speaking on condition of anonymity told the Post that shells filled with toxic mustard agent were found in two central Libya’s locations by interim government fighters in recent weeks. The sites are now being guarded and are under 24-hour surveillance by drones, according to US and Libyan officials. Aleksandr Vavilov, a political scientist and professor of the Moscow State University, Prof. Boris Shmelyov, Chairman of the Department of International Relations at the Academy Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Dr. Paul Beran, the Outreach Director at the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Harvard University, and Imad-ad-Dean Ahmad, President and Director of the Minaret of Freedom Institute, talk about this new discovery and how it complicates already tenuous relationship between Washington and Tehran, that have been heightened ever since the IAEA report.
