Regarding Iran’s nuclear program, it has been claimed that the US nuclear program is a matter of serious concern to the United States and members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, as Iran’s steps will be important for its nuclear weapons program.

The day before, the US Assistant Secretary of State had announced his intention to pursue a “new mechanism” with the Arab Gulf states against Iran’s regional activities.
