Gulf States Cautiously Support Iran Nuclear Deal

Persian Gulf monarchies issued a cautious endorsement on Monday of the accord Secretary of State John Kerry negotiated last month to constrain Iran’s nuclear program.

“This was the best option among other options,” said Khalid al-Attiyah, the foreign minister of Qatar, who hosted a meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council that Mr. Kerry attended.

In a news conference with Mr. Kerry, Mr. Attiyah said that the secretary of state had repeated his assurance that the United States would stop Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon if Tehran failed to adhere to the accord.

Mr. Kerry and his counterparts from the Persian Gulf states also agreed on ways to expedite the military support and training efforts that President Obama promised at a May meeting at Camp David with senior gulf state officials.

Congrats on selecting such a champion, Israel.

The gulf states are certainly odious governments, but they live in the real world and see there's not unicorn available.

This is fantastic news. We have so many on board now that our neanderthal and hateful congress members will be late to the party and irrelevant. The rest of the world is moving around the US like an amoeba around a foreign object.
