U.S. Seeks to Assure Arabs on Iran
[Wall Street Journal] Jay Solomon - The Obama administration is dispatching its point man on Iran, Dennis Ross, to the Middle East this week in an effort to win greater Arab support for Washington's engagement strategy toward Tehran. A number of Arab governments in recent weeks have voiced concern about the U.S. outreach, fearing it could help entrench Iran as a Mideast power while failing to end its nuclear program. "The discomfort among the Arabs is quite real. They have deep anxieties about Iran," said a senior U.S. official.
