Gulf Arabs won't be base for attack on Iran: Saudi

Sunday, June 17, 2007; 3:36 AM

RIYADH (Reuters) - Gulf Arab countries will not be used
as a launch pad for any military attack on Iran, a powerful
Saudi royal was quoted as saying on Sunday.

Saudi Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdul-Aziz said
Iran had no interest in striking its oil-producing Arab
neighbors if it comes under attack from the United States.

"I think the brothers in Iran are totally aware that ...
Iran will not be a source of harm for their neighbors and
brothers ... These countries (Arab neighbors) will not be
a source of harm for Iran," he said in remarks late on
Saturday carried by state news agency SPA.

"Respect and consideration are mutual. I speak for the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (relations) with Iran and for the
Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)," he added, referring to
Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and
Oman.
