GCC rejects Iran 'interference'

Gulf Arab states expressed deep concern on Sunday over what they called Iranian interference in their internal affairs, in a statement issued after a foreign affairs meeting in the Saudi capital Riyadh.
The statement rejected Iran's "continuing interference" in the internal affairs of the six members of the Gulf Co-operation Council, after Iran criticised Saudi Arabia for sending troops to Bahrain which faces protests by majority Shias against the island state's Sunni ruling family.
