The West is attempting to reassure Middle Eastern allies about the recently signed nuclear deal with Iran.<br /><br /> The EU’s foreign policy chief has been holding talks in the capital of Saudi Arabia, before heading off to Iran for discussions about implementing the new agreement. <br /><br /> Federica Mogherini, the EU High Representative, told a media conference: “It is very important for me, personally, first to pass the message that the agreement is strong and solid. <br /><br /> “It’s first of all a nuclear non-proliferation agreement that will guarantee that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon for the next 10 to 15 years, and with solid mechanisms of a snap back of sanctions.”<br /><br /> But in a further sign of the unease over the deal, the Saudi foreign minister spoke out with a claim that Iran has made threats against Riyadh’s ally, Bahrain.
