Secretary of State John Kerry travels to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday to reassure the new Saudi king and Arab allies who are uneasy about the prospect of a nuclear deal with Iran.
Just two days after Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu raised alarms in a speech to Congress, Kerry in his talks Thursday will face quieter doubts from the Arab leaders who find themselves in the unusual situation of being on the same side of an issue as the Israeli leader. Like him, they are worried by Iran’s expansionism and the prospect that it eventually will succeed in developing nuclear weapons.
