It’s weird, most likely true, but not enough yet. All Saudi Arabia has to offer is its air space, which solves the main problem of a flight rout for a country with no carriers. They don’t have good pilots, they don’t have a lot of planes. Israel has good pilots, but not enough equipment for Iran, imho. It is big, mountainous, and while evil to the core, the Iranians are not stupid. Can we send over our entire fleet of high-power aircraft? Would even that be enough?

I have no doubt that Israel has boots on the ground in Iran, and that is a major force multiplier. WRT Saudi, the most important thing they can provide is forward basing. AWACS support would be nice too, though.
