 |
The two-day GCC summit in Kuwait closed on December 15. |
Arab states of the Persian Gulf have voiced their opposition to any military action against Iran over its nuclear program.
"We do not accept any military action against Iran," AFP quoted Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammad al-Sabah as saying on Tuesday at the end of the GCC summit in Kuwait City.
"Any tension in the region will reflect on our situation. We have many problems already and we do not want any more," said al-Sabah, whose country currently chairs the GCC.
"We urge Iran to comply with what is required from it by the International Atomic Energy Agency and deal positively with international legal resolutions," he added.
Persian Gulf Arab states welcome "international efforts to resolve the Iranian nuclear program crisis through peaceful means," the final communiqué of the two-day GCC summit said.
Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, and Bahrain are the members of the GCC.
