Kerry says Iran nuclear deal will make Egypt, region safer

U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry, on Sunday said the nuclear deal reached between Iran and world powers, would make Egypt and the region safer than they otherwise would be.

“We are completely grateful for Egypt’s support in the Iranian nuclear deal,’’ Kerry told a press conference in Cairo.

According to him, Iran is part of instability in several countries in the region and the nuclear programme should be peaceful so they can discuss the future of security in the region.

Experts said that Kerry’s trip, which would end on Aug. 8, was to assure the region, the Gulf countries in particular, that there would be Iranian influence after the nuclear deal was signed on July 14.
