Western sources have reportedly revealed that US Secretary of State John Kerry is offering Gulf States an American nuclear umbrella to deal with the Iranian nuclear threat, as Kerry is finalizing a controversial deal with Iran ahead of a March 31 deadline for talks.
The sources spoke to the London-based Arabic language Al-Hayat newspaper, as cited by Yedioth Aharonoth, and said that Kerry while in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this week intends to present a plan to senior sources in the country.
Through the framework of the plan, the US would provide a sort of nuclear umbrella to the Gulf States as a counterbalance to the Iranian nuclear deal.
According to the report, the plan essentially would have the US defend the Gulf region from any nuclear attack that Iran might launch, in what appears to be a covert acknowledgement that the deal will allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons as Israel has warned. …

The gulf states should down his plane in self-defense.
Not only are they dolts they are fools.
See. It'll work fine.
Kerry is delusional. He is conceding that his “historic agreement” is acquiescing to lunatic mullahs obtaining nuclear arms. Is he so pompous and narcissistic that he believes future American Presidents will commit to nuclear war if Shi’ite Iranian and Sunni Arab disputes get out of hand?
Like Ukraine? We’ll protect you if you give up your nukes?
Wasn’t Ukraine offered a similar deal... protection that never manifested itself?
Same as we did for Ukraine. We’re on the verge of igniting a nuclear weapons race in the Middle East and an umbrella is the best horse’s ass can put on the table. The Saudi’s already have a deal with Pakistan.
Of what use is a nuclear umbrella if the president’s already on record that he is unwilling to use nukes ?
It does not look possible in a densely packed region that is full of ships of all kinds and sizes, from tiny to gigantic. Iran may have a suitable missile to mount the bomb onto, but they don't have to go that way. Any airliner will do the job, any fishing trawler, any tanker, any submarine - and they have all of the above.
Hit the nail on the head there.
Arab allies want their own nuclear weapons.
America cannot be trusted to protect them.
Not after they’ve seen how has it sold Israel down the river.
They should turn down - Kerry’s offer.
Making a deal for your life with a fool and a liar doesn’t seem like a wise move.
Jean Francois back in Vietnam.
What a consummate jerk.
“A nuclear umbrella? How does he propose to do that?”
Sounds like AFTER a gulf state gets hit by nuclear bomb, we will be watching closely and maybe send coffins since millions will be needed IF they can find the bodies.
No gulf state is going to depend on Obama for any help, especially if they have any Christians in that gulf state.
I think I need to find a pin that states, “I’m a Christian” and wear it every day, like Jews had to wear an arm band to be identified as Jewish. I think we have to start wearing Christian pins.
Well ... tell them to check with Ukraine ... to see how that worked out for them!
Probable a thin disguise to threaten to allow Iran first hit on the south if they don’t get in line with the big O.
You mean like the “commitments” made to Poland, Czechoslovakia and the Ukraine?
Somehow I don’t think they’ll buy it...
How?
Push that red button, Mr. Kerry?
The one marked ‘launch’?
I suspect the Gulf Stats will be working on their own nuclear umbrellas soon. At least one of them is probably already in the game.
hat arms race is probably getting cranked up even now.
