Gates to the Arabs: Join us Against Iran
The American Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, said to the Arab countries that the US prefers diplomatic and economic measures to solving the problem of Iran's nuclear program.
In an interview with the Al-Jazeera news agency, Gates also said, "One of the pathways, to get the Iranians to change their approach on the nuclear issue, is to persuade them that moving down that path will actually jeopardize their security, not enhance it."
