The likelihood of an Iranian nuclear armory has opened up the possibility of uncontrolled nuclear proliferation among neighboring countries.

The London Times stated that " the Middle East may now be entering the most precarious era of its history, with the sudden rush by Arabs, Iranians and Turks to master nuclear technology and one day unlock the secrets of the atomic bombs" (Nov. 4, 2006).

It certainly appears that countries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates want nuclear technology sooner rather than later. An editorial in The Times stated that "the countries that know Iran best, its regional neighbours, are suspicious of its true intentions" (Source: The Times [London].)
