The leaders of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates told US President Donald Trump during his Middle East visit earlier this month that they oppose a military strike on Iran’s nuclear program, the Walla news site reports, citing three officials familiar with the details.
They also told Trump that he should keep working for a nuclear deal with Iran, according to the outlet.
Qatari Emir Tamim Al Thani, Emirati President Mohammed Bin Zayed and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman said that their countries would be targeted by Iran in case of an attack.
US officials are worried that Israel could decide to carry out strikes on Iran’s nuclear program without much warning, The New York Times reported yesterday.
