The Arab League is warning Iran not to harm the sovereignty or independence of any Arab state.
Arab League Deputy Secretary-General Ahmad Bin Hali presumably this is what Egypt told him to say
accused Teheran of issuing provocative statements against Arab states.
Arab countries will not allow Iranian influence in Iraq on account of Iraq's sovereignty and stability, he said in an interview with an Egyptian television channel on Saturday.
He also said Iran's interference in Palestinian affairs Fatah controls the Palestinian seat in the Arab League
was not justified.

It has now been demonstrated that there are two potentially silo-based missile facilities within Iran. This is indicative of a continued desire by the Iranian military to enhance the survivability of its missile force, and decrease the warning that an adversary would have that missiles are being readied to fire. As the Iranian missile force continues to modernize and expand, the trend of silo basing will likely continue, resulting in a missile force that is far more dangerous than previously believed.
In response, we've got Obama channeling Barney the Dinosaur in his address to Iran.
Palestinian factions in Lebanon accused the army on Saturday of contaminating Iranian food aid destined for a refugee camp by using sniffer-dogs to search the shipment. "Camp residents refuse to eat what the police dogs have soiled," several Palestinian factions in northern Lebanon, including the Islamist groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad, said in a statement received by AFP. "Oh, yasss! In our religion, animals that can sniff out explosives or dope are very much forbidden! Bad, bad juju, y'know!"
It referred to a shipment donated by Iran for residents of the Nahr al-Bared camp in northern Lebanon, which was devastated by deadly battles between a fringe Islamist group and the army in 2007. A place that was coincidentally home to several tons of unauthorized explosives that nobody could say how they got there...
The Palestinian factions said they could no longer receive the aid and accused the army of delaying its delivery describing this as a "humiliating" act. "Take your charity and be off wit' yez!"
The leftist Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which was among the factions which signed the statement, said that 200 tonnes of aid had arrived outside the camp three days earlier and been held up for "security reasons."
