US, EU officials meet with Arab representatives on Iran

US and European representatives on Sunday met with representatives from Arab countries worried about Iran's influence in the Mideast, a senior US official said. The official said foreign ministers from several Arab countries met with US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana and French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner at the Red Sea resort of Sharm e-Sheikh. A participant in Sunday's meeting said Arabs are worried about any potential deal on Iran's nuclear program that would give the country more power in the Middle East. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks were confidential.
