Describing nuclear-armed Pakistan as "unquestionably the biggest concern" to stability in South Asia, a leading US daily today said the world powers that worked on the Iran deal should now turn their attention to the "troubled region with growing nuclear risks of its own".
"The world's attention has rightly been riveted on negotiations aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear programme. If and when that deal is made final, America and the other major powers that worked on it. China, Russia, Britain, France and Germany should turn their attention to South Asia, a troubled region with growing nuclear risks of its own," The New York Times said in an editorial.The editorial titled 'Nuclear Fears in South Asia' said the situation in the region cannot be ignored by the major world powers, no matter how preoccupied they may be by the long negotiations with Iran as India, China and Pakistan are moving ahead with plans to deploy nuclear weapons in the Indian Ocean.
