A month after Iran protests began, worry pervades Mideast over possible US strike

Iranian officials have reached out to Middle Eastern countries over the threat of a possible U.S. military strike. Saudi Arabia and the UAE have signaled they won't allow their airspace to be used for any attack. America has moved the USS Abraham Lincoln and several guided missile destroyers into the region. On Wednesday, President Donald Trump urged Iran to negotiate, warning that time is running out. Protests in Iran have led to a bloody crackdown, with at least 6,221 people killed, according to activists. Iran's government has reported a lower death toll and labeled many protesters as terrorists.
