U.S. Sells Arms to Iran Neighbors

Iran's recent military bluster has certainly been good for any of its neighbors seeking massive weapons deals from the United States. The U.S. will sell the United Arab Emirates $3.48 billion in missiles and other technologies, part of a military buildup in allies surrounding Iran. The deal, which the Pentagon says will promote a “secure and stable” Persian Gulf, includes 96 sophisticated missiles and a contract for a missile-defense system. Thursday the Obama administration announced a deal to sell Saudi Arabia $30 billion in F-15SA fighter jets.
