We beg to differ. The Iranians (Shi’ite Persians) hate the Sunni Arabs at least as much as they hate Israel (remember the long Iran/Iraq war). the first Iranian nuclear missile will target Ryad.

I'm cool with that.

Precisely. How do we differ on that? Hussein, being Sunni, hates both and is setting up a nuclear attack by Iran on Israel in order to eliminate both as it surely would if Israel does not have sufficient antimissile capabilty thus far unknown to Iran and Hussein. I suspect that a nuke on Riyadh would trigger an appropriate Israeli response. Riyadh is likely to have retaliatory or even first strike nuclear capability very quickly. Arabia will simply import the gear from Sunni Pakistan and the technicians to operate it and train the Saudis. Iran has to keep spinning those centrifuges. Arabia can be nuked up in a month. Iran requires a bit longer
