Iraqi PM says Iran, US near nuclear deal

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al Abadi tells Al Hayat that the US and Iran are well on their way to an agreement on Iran’s nuclear program.

In comments quoted by NRG, al Abadi says the entry of Islamic State as a powerful new actor to the arena changes priorities for many countries in the region.

“Insisting on ending [Syrian President] Bashar Assad’s regime has been pushed aside or pushed back in face of the war against terrorism. No army will be able to defeat IS if this organization continues to draw in the younger generation,” al Abadi adds.
