"All of the Arab Gulf states have chosen accommodation and good relations with Iran for self-protection," says Anthony Cordesman, a Middle East expert at CSIS. "They fear Iran in terms of a nuclear threat that southern Gulf regimes still see as very real. They fear … a Shiite crescent … and Iran's potential ties to Shiites in Bahrain, Saudi, Yemen, and the UAE."
