MANAMA, Bahrain -- Defense Secretary Robert Gates planned to tell Persian Gulf countries today that they must work together to help the U.S. counter Iranian threats, including Tehran's ballistic missiles and meddling in Iraq.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the United States still wants new sanctions.
Gates, ending a weeklong trip to the region, intended in his keynote speech at an international security conference in Manama to urge gulf allies to cooperate more as part of a broader strategy for containing Iranian influence, according to U.S. officials traveling with Gates on Friday.
