WASHINGTON (Dispatches) – U.S. President Donald Trump’s upcoming visit to the Middle East is aimed at getting Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations in the region to stand in "unity” with Israel against Iran, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on Sunday.
"I think there is broad view and broad consensus among all in the region, among all Arab nations, among Israel and among others of Iran’s destabilizing activities in the region,” Tillerson said in an interview with NBC News. "This has to do with standing up in unity against Iran as opposed to any particular religious overtone,” he said.
