Iran Urges Arabs to Eject U.S. Military
[AP/Washington Post] Jim Krane - Iran's top national security official, Ali Larijani, urged Arab leaders at a conference in Dubai Tuesday to eject the U.S. military from American bases in the region and instead join Tehran in a regional security alliance. "The security and stability of the region needs to be attained and we should do it inside the region, not through bringing in foreign forces," Larijani said. "We should stand on our own feet." Larijani said Iran seeks "peaceful coexistence" and could replace the security umbrella of U.S. bases now present in the region, including in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar.
