My Way News - Egypt considering nuclear arms if Iran gets them
My Way News reports: "Egypt's president would consider turning his country into a nuclear power if Iran acquired atomic weapons, leaked U.S. diplomatic cables revealed [...] Iran's growing nuclear program, which it insists is only for peaceful energy production, has sent chills throughout the region and several Arab countries expressed their concern to the U.S. about it, included support for military strikes."

My Way News - Clinton hopes for Iranian turnaround on nukes
My Way News reports: "Until now, Arab worries generally have been expressed publicly in careful, diplomatic language with the emphasis on dialogue and diplomacy. The WikiLeaks disclosures showed private concerns about Iran expressed by a range of Arab leaders."

Comment: One silver-lining from the WikiLeaks scandal has been the emergence of a broad regional consensus that Iran should not be allowed to go nuclear. Iran's neighbors that had previously been guarded in their public statements are now firmly asserting their determination to stand against Iran.
