The United States on Monday received a vote of confidence on the deal with Iran, as Gulf Arab states welcomed the deal negotiated with world powers, The Associated Press (AP) reported.
At the same time, they said they would like further assurances that the U.S. would help them counter increasing Iranian assertiveness in the region.
Speaking for the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Qatar's Foreign Minister said that the bloc had been impressed by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's presentation of the agreement and explanations of how it will be verified and enforced.
"Consequently, the GCC countries have welcomed on this basis what has been displayed and what has been talked about by His Excellency Mr. Kerry," said Foreign Minister Khalid al-Attiyah, whose nation currently chairs the group, according to AP.
"He let us know that there is a going to be live oversight over Iran," al Attiyah said of Kerry's presentation. "This is reassuring to the region."
Kerry had come to Doha seeking to ease such fears and said the United States would continue to expand security co-operation with the Gulf states to counter any destabilizing activities from Iran or others.
"Once fully implemented, the (Iran deal) contributes to the region's long-term security, including by preventing Iran from developing a military nuclear capability," Kerry said, reading from a joint U.S.-GCC statement to be issued later.

I find this to be highly doubtful.
People lie.
They don’t believe him. They are going to pursue nukes....and let get whatever they can from Valerie and her man children.
Wonder how many billions that cost us.
It's not what Kerry promised them, it's what Iran promised them!
IOW, “we’ll help all of you get nukes too, in order to destroy Israel.”
