The latest decision made by GCC to start their joint nuclear program, and Iran’s offer to transfer the nuclear technology, are the small pockets in the long chain of events. We can rest assure that Arab states will not accept Iran’s offer. Iran being the only Shia Country has widely been criticized by the Sunni states for its cultural and ethnic differences. Iran has its own foreign policy, which is not so amicable to its neighboring countries. However Iran indulgence in the body politicks of Iraq as well as Lebanon has been seen with unrest in the other Arab states. Iran’s increasing influence in Shia region of Iraq, and its growing support to Hassan Nasurullah and Hizbullah is not applauded by the Arab States.

All Arab states are oil rich countries and there is no lack of cheap oil in these states, but the main cause to opt for nuclear technology, is to achieve deterrence against Iran. Because a Nuclear Iran will be detrimental and lethal to Arab states including Saudi Arabia.Therefore there is no possibility that any help from the Iran will be acceptable to GCC.

Iran has been playing hide and seek with Washington. Its one of the motive can be to ameliorate its relations with other states so as to give Washington tough time in the region. But this diplomacy will not lost long because Iran is not supposed to get the desired response from the neighbors.
