AP � The Arab League says it supports Morocco�s decision to sever ties with Iran over its alleged support for the Polisario Front in the disputed Western Sahara. Tehran has denied supporting the pro-independence group.

The spokesman for the Arab League�s secretary-general Mahmoud Afifi said late on Wednesday that the Arab League condemns and rejects Iran�s s intervention in Morocco or any other Arab country�s internal affairs.

He also called on Arab nations to refrain from non-action in the face of what he called Iran�s strategy aimed at spreading chaos and instability in the region.

Morocco cut ties with Iran on Tuesday. Iran has dismissed Morocco�s accusations as �completely baseless.�

The separatist Polisario Front is seeking the independence of the Western Sahara region, a former Spanish colony that Morocco annexed in 1975.
