US-Poland summit: Many nations snubbing meet

A number of countries are either pulling out or sending low-level delegations to the Warsaw summit aimed at curbing Iran’s growing influence in the Middle East.

Some countries are snubbing a US-sponsored meeting about Iran’s role in the Middle East.

But Poland, the host country, says Iran will not be the only item on the agenda.

They say delegates will also discuss the presence of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS), and the war in Syria.
