Iran big winner from region's turmoil: Arab League head

Arab League chief Ahmed Abul Gheit warned Monday (May 1st) that Iran was one of the main beneficiaries of turmoil across the Arab world, AFP reported.

"I have never seen anything worse than what we are now seeing," Abul Gheit said at the Arab Media Forum in Dubai.

"Iran is enjoying what the Arab world is going through. There are those in Iran who are watching and waiting for us to destroy ourselves," he said.

Ties between Iran and Arab states have grown increasingly tense in recent years, with Tehran backing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Yemen's Houthis (Ansarallah) and militia groups in Iraq.
