US President Barack Obama hosted six Gulf state representatives at Camp David for a summit May 14 with the goal of allaying the fears of Iran’s neighbors over the nuclear agreement taking shape between the superpowers and the ayatollahs.
The White House described the event as a meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), but it would probably be more accurate to call it the “Summit of Concerned States,” given the apprehension with which America’s traditional allies in the Gulf and Middle East have been watching the Obama administration draw closer to Iran.
