With the ongoing tensions in the Middle East, National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah on Monday warned Arab countries that they will be the next target of Israel and the US. The statement from Farooq Abdullah comes after the United States bombed three nuclear centres in Iran on Sunday morning.

Farooq Abdullah said that Israel and the United States of America are eyeing the region for their oil and gas requirements.

Speaking to the media after a party meeting at Nawa-i-Subah, Abdullah said, "It is their (United States`) long-time policy that Iran should not become a nuclear power. Even the Sunni countries in the region are against it, but they do not have the courage to speak up."
