VIENNA (AP) — Israel accused its archenemy Iran on Thursday of being the biggest threat to the Middle East, as the Jewish state sought to deflect pressure at a U.N. nuclear meeting over its own undeclared possession of nuclear weapons.

In addition to reflecting the tensions between Israel and Iran that could lead to an armed conflict, the sharply worded debate was a reminder of the divide between Muslim nations and the West over which of the two nations’ nuclear programs is the biggest threat to Mideast peace.
