    Trump Administration Working to Set up ‘Arab NATO’ to Oppose Iran
    An “Arab NATO” security coalition of Middle East states is being planned by Washington as a buffer to thwart Iran’s military expansion in the region.
    The broad alliance would include Egypt, Jordan and the six Gulf Cooperation Council states.

    The aim is to drive military cooperation between the countries, combining missile defense and counter-terrorism as a key starting point.

    An unnamed Iranian official said the prospect of an Arab NATO security pact would only further fuel the divide between Iran and U.S.-allied states in the region.
    “Under the pretext of securing stability in the Middle East, Americans and their regional allies are fomenting tension in the region,” the official told Reuters.

    Good idea, I say! Get rid of NATO and hail MESA! It might even be able to keep Israel in line, so the Palestinians can take a deep breath and relax. I know, it's wishful thinking.

    Trump is an ass. He's not going to set up anything.He's looking for another headline and to take credit for anything that happens anywhere in the world. Don't you see what a lying fraud he is yet?

    You mean a caliphate? If not for the UK, this region would have been a united peoples after WWII.

    None of the oil producing countries will support another Caliphate. The last one was a real dud that set the Arab world back hundreds of years.

    Did you know that Nasser had this Pan Arab dream with him controlling all oil revenues and doling them out.

    Trump is an idiot.. The GCC has existed for years and the Saudis have already created a coalition.

    They must all be disgusted with Trump's grandstanding.

    No it wouldn't, but that never stopped Western "pundits" from speculating about it since 1945.

    Last time some jackass declared himself Caliph in 1924 he was chased off the Arabian peninsula a couple of weeks later.

    I'm not against the middle east being united.
