UAE leader: Israel would destroy Iran if attacked

The prime minister of the United Arab Emirates has rejected the threat of a nuclear Iran, saying that if Tehran were to attack Israel, it would be destroyed the next day. In an interview with CNN, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, the absolute monarch of Dubai, said that he does not think Iran would develop a nuclear weapon since it would be of little use to it. Al-Maktoum insisted that Iran, which lies just 50 miles away from the UAE, is not building a nuclear weapon.
