Dubai, United Arab Emirates (CNN) -- A leader of the United Arab Emirates discounted concerns about a nuclear-armed Iran in a CNN interview Monday, saying Tehran would find the ultimate weapon to be of little use. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Emirates' prime minister and vice president, told CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront" that he did not believe Iran would build a bomb. "What can Iran do with a nuclear weapon?" Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai, asked. "For example, will they hit Israel? How many Palestinians will die? And you think if Iran hits Israel, their cities will be safe? They will be gone the next day."
