Now all the gulf Arabs want Nuclear power. Are they afraid of Iran more than Isreal??
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (Reuters) -- Gulf Arab countries want to acquire nuclear energy capability and have ordered a study on a possible joint atomic program, a statement read on Sunday at the close of a two-day Gulf Cooperation Council summit said.
"The countries of the region have the right to nuclear energy technology for peaceful purposes," said Abdul-Rahman al-Attiya, secretary-general of the Gulf Cooperation Council.
The statement comes amid concerns over Iran's nuclear ambitions and suspicions that Israel has nuclear weapons.
The statement called on Iran to cooperate with the international community over its nuclear energy program, which Western countries led by the United States suspect is aimed at acquiring atomic weapons. Tehran says the program is peaceful.
