The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) on Saturday expressed the hope that Iran would adopt more reassuring measures concerning its nuclear issue.

The GCC also called for more transparency in dealing with the Iranian nuclear program, United Arab Emirates (UAE) Foreign Minister Sheik Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan told a press conference.

The minister, whose country holds the GCC rotating presidency, also denied reports that the GCC member states were mediating the ongoing U.S.-Iran dispute over Teheran's nuclear program.

On the projected dialogue between Washington and Tehran over Iraqi issues, the minister said leaders of the GCC nations supported the dialogue, which is conducive to the Iraqi people.

But he declined to comment on the report that Iran interfered with the domestic affairs of Iraq.

The GCC, a loose military and political alliance grouping Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and the UAE, is increasingly nervous about Iran's disputed nuclear program.

At a summit hosted by UAE President Sheik Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan on Saturday evening, leaders or representatives from the six-member GCC discussed the latest regional and international developments.
