ATHENS The nuclear tests conducted by India and Pakistan recently will help indirectly in precipitating normalization of ties between Iran and the Persian Gulf Arab states, said the semi-official Egyptian weekly Al-Ahram al-Arabi. Quoting well-informed sources, the Arab weekly said that the recent visit of Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal to Tehran - although planned before the nuclear tests - gave a quick push to normalization of ties because of security apprehensions of the Western diplomatic sources in the Persian Gulf await a substantial rapprochement between the Islamic Republic and its Arab neighbors, said the Cairo weekly in its issue published Saturday.
