noroxine Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif traveled this week to the Sunni Arab states of Qatar, Kuwait and Oman; his counterpart from the United Arab Emirates visited Tehran last week. The trips are the first signs of a thaw in relations between Persian Gulf Arab states and Iran’s Shiite government since the ongoing revolt against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad polarized the region along sectarian lines.
