Another of Arsenal's danger man, Mesut Ozil stabbed wide of the far corner from a tight angle after getting getting onto the end of a promising ball as Arsene Wenger's side came a whisker away from opening the scoring in the 56th minute.
West Ham nearly stunned their visitors with 24 minutes remaining of the game when Nacho Monreal made a desperate clearance off the line after Arnautovic had dinked past Peter Cech as Arsenal survived a huge scare.
Danny Welbeck replaced Iwobi after 70 minutes as the Gunners sought a breakthrough but the Hammers resiliently held on for a deserved point.
