Gulf states 'offer Iran uranium'

How does it feel to be stabbed in the back with a knife Speedy?

Gulf states are willing to set up a body to provide enriched uranium to Iran, Saudi Arabia's foreign minister is reported to have said.

Prince Saud al-Faisal told the Middle East Economic Digest (MEED) the plan could defuse Tehran's stand-off with the West over its nuclear programme.

The prince was quoted as saying that Iran was considering the Gulf states' offer, but the US was not involved.

Prince Saud said the offer came from the six states that make up the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) - Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

"We have proposed a solution, which is to create a consortium for all users of enriched uranium in the Middle East," he was quoted as saying.

Not as bad as I thought, really.

I thought it would be a sharp, intense pain, truly unbearable to take; but it's more like a quick pinch that you get over soon enough; not unlike wearing a pair of Fruit of the Loom underwear that is too tight, but can soon enough be managed by a little adjusting here and there.
