http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=159233The growing threat from Iran and its suspected nuclear program is alarming even its Muslim neighbors, and the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council now are working to revive "Peninsula Shield" after a five-year lapse, according to a report from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.
Saudi Arabia may turn to Pakistan to help it develop its own nuclear weapons because officials there now wonder whether the United States would come to its defense should it be attacked by Iran, according to defense experts.
The Sunni Arab countries of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates believe Shiite Iran's refusal to halt its nuclear enrichment program ultimately will prompt sanctions and possible attack either from the U.S. or Israel.
Western nations fear Iran's program is a cover for developing nuclear weapons.
But the Arab nations think any conflict that would erupt could allow Iran then to attack them, due to their opposition to its nuclear program and Iran's geopolitical intentions to take over the Arab Peninsula.
"The Islamic United States (led by Iran) will be an introduction to the formation of the global village of the oppressed, and that will be a prelude to the single global rule of the Shiite Mahdi," according to leading Iranian cleric Ayatollah Mohammad Bagher Kharazi.
