`No one buys Bush`s Iran war plan`
Unites States President, who will begin his Mideast visit on Wednesday, has said that he will seek to form an anti-Iran alliance in the region.
"[Arab countries will urge Bush] not to escalate militarily with Iran because of the consequences that military action would have in the region," said Emirati analyst Mohammed al-Roken.
Bush`s visit comes at a time when Washington has kept up the heat on Tehran, with US Defense Secretary Robert Gates calling for the establishment of an `air and missile defense umbrella` to counter any possible response from Iran in case of a confrontation.
However, analysts believe the rhetoric is aimed at encouraging oil-rich Persian Gulf states to purchase more weapons from the US.
