Saudi Arabia urges other Gulf Arab countries to develop armed forces to defend oil resources


RIYADH, Saudi Arabia: A top Saudi official urged fellow Gulf Arab countries on Wednesday to develop their armed forces to provide security to the region and safeguard oil resources.
"Because of the threats we face, we have to work hard to develop our armed forces to make them capable of providing regional stability and safety for the energy resources," the Saudi Press Agency quoted the country's deputy defense minister, Prince Abdel Rahman bin Abdel Aziz, as telling a meeting of defense ministers of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council.
The Saudi official did not name the source of the threats, but it appeared he was hinting at Iran when he talked about the importance of developing defense capabilities.
"This side, which you well know should be looked at within the strategic neighborhood, the change of the origin of threats, the emergence of the terrorism danger and the rise of effective regional powers in the area," he told the one-day meeting.
The GCC secretary-general, Abdel Rahman al-Attiyah, also spoke about "dangers and challenges" facing the region that "call on us to be more vigilant and exert joint efforts and coordination of the capabilities of the Council's countries," according to SPA.

Prince Abdel Rahman told reporters after the meeting that "in the history of Gulf countries, there was no any aggression committed by one side against another, therefore we expect that any other side to act within this content and the same trend."
The GCC countries — Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman are wearily following the escalating standoff between the West and Iran over Tehran's nuclear program. They fear the consequences of a military confrontation between Tehran and the United States, as well as the effects of any nuclear accidents in Iran.
The U.S. accuses Tehran of secretly trying to develop nuclear weapons — a claim Iran denies, saying its program is for peaceful purposes including generating electricity.

Lì, però, hanno già moltissime basi americane.
Le interpretazioni della notizia sono molteplici.

Sarebbe, ad esempio, un modo per sbarazzarsi dei dollari U$A e contemporaneamente dotarsi di armamenti completamente nelle loro mani.
