Didn’t the Saudis do the same thing when the Israelis took out the Iraqi reactor at Osirak?
Negative. The Royal Saudi Air Force was clueless. And just to rub their noses in it, the Israeli aircraft jettisoned their empty gas tanks over Saudi airspace on their way back to Israel.
Yep, they did. Saudi and most of the ME oil nations know that Iran/Syria want control of the oil nations....so for a long while these nations have “secretly” supported whatever measures are taken to keep Iran from going nuclear....even though they may be supportive of Iran in the news.
The Saudis, and others, privately thanked Israel for taking out Osirak. I suspect there is more communications going between Israel and Saudi Arabia, as well as other Arab countries, than what is let on.
