Egypt and the United States also clashed at the forum over Iran's right to nuclear development. Mubarak opened the conference by warning the United States against harboring double standards, a reference to the Bush administration's determination to stop Iran's nuclear program while it turns a blind eye to the atomic arsenal Israel is believed to possess.

Zoellick was forced to defend the American position on Iran several times, citing the hard-line Tehran leadership's denial of the Holocaust and its calls to destroy the Jewish state. During a panel Sunday with Arab League Secretary-General Amr Moussa, a former Egyptian foreign minister, talks devolved into interruptions and accusations.

"What about Israel's nuclear program?" Moussa demanded at one point.

"It does not have a declared program. I don't know for sure what it may or may not have," a visibly flustered Zoellick responded. Guffaws rippled through the audience.
