Merkel: Gulf states share worries over Iran

The Gulf Arab states share Western concerns over Iran's nuclear program, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Tuesday.

"There's a great deal of dismay among the population here," Merkel said in Abu Dhabi after meeting leaders of the United Arab Emirates on a visit to the region. "It's obvious how much people want to see an Iran which is not trying to get nuclear weapons," she added. (Reuters)
