The Egyptian authorities welcome the agreement, hoping it would lead the Middle East to security and stability, while Turkey expects to tap into the potential business opportunities once sanctions against Iran are lifted.
In Damascus and Baghdad, two Shiite-Muslim ruled governments are exclusively elated to see the birth of the deal as a sanction-free Iran would be in a even stronger position to help them battle extremist jihadist groups including the Islamic State (IS) militants.
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad congratulated his main ally Iran on the nuclear deal, while his government called the agreement a „historic“ one. Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said the deal „will spare the region the scourge of disasters, wars and conflicts, at a time when security and peace are much needed.“
