"There is a comprehensive and total accord with Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries on helping each other and bolstering our collective security, he pointed out, adding that, we could not produce an effective military act in the region, unless we managed to secure the assistance of some Gulf countries. He stated that sharing intelligence is also vital in the fight against terrorism. As long as the partnership is improving, we suggest that there is need for cooperation to thwart emerging threats, citing cyber attacks, the realm of virtual space and joint anti-ballistic missiles defense systems. He drew the attention that there is an overall agreement on the necessity of fending away Iranian provocations, and to hold Iran accountable provided it dared to violate international regulations, calling for dialogue to ease the tensions and to identify ways in which Iran could be more moderate and rational and negotiate with the countries in the region and neighboring states in order to evade more tensions and war by proxies in the region. President said that there is a lot of mistrust accumulated because of Iranian provocations. People are cautious and want to make sure that no one deceives them about what Iran might do to wreak havoc and sedition in other countries, he said, adding that "we demonstrated our patience during the cold war with the Soviet Union when it was challenging us by keeping restraint and contact to ease tension and evade wars and chaos, calling to adopt such approach. He pointed out that stockpiles of nuclear weapons in Iran were disposed off according to the Iranian nuclear agreement, considering that as a sign of strength rather than weakness. -- SPA 21:23 LOCAL TIME 18:23 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
