Most Arabs See Iran as Bigger Threat than Israel
(Financial Times-UK) Digby Lidstone - At the official level, relations between Iran and the leaders of neighboring Arab states tend to be polite without being warm. But beneath the surface, suspicion of Iran has deepened markedly. A survey by YouGov, commissioned by Qatar's Doha Debates and published last week, found that on the Arab side 80% do not believe Iran's assurances that it is not trying to develop nuclear weapons. The poll, which surveyed more than 1,000 people in 18 Arab countries last month, found that most see Iran as a bigger threat to security than Israel.
