Ruler of Dubai said it is time to lift sanctions against Iran for the benefit of the entire region.

“Iran is our neighbour and we don't want any problem.... lift the sanctions and everyone will benefit....,” His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum said in an interview with The Gulf News.

Shaikh believes the Iranians tell the truth when the say nuclear sites are just for civilian power.

“I talked to Ahmadinejad and he said ‘if I send a rocket to Israel, how many Palestinians will I kill. And then the US and Europe will destroy my cities. I'm not crazy to go for that. It’s a weapon of the past’,” he added.
