If there is a war between Israel and Iran, and the Egyptians get frisky, the Israeli air force will make very short work of that entire tank corp. That in turn will result in the collapse of the new Egyptian regime. Things will get ugly.

Things are not that cut & dry. The Israeli Air Force will have it's hands full with HAMAS in the South, Hizbollah in the North, possible Syrians in the North East, Iranians in the extreme North East and naval battles in the Med, to the West. This all translates to total war where Israel no longer shows mercy to the Arab capitals and infrastructures as they have done since 1983. Up till now Israel has had to tiptoe and pinpoint bomb targets with minimal collateral damage but if they Arabs go for broke, Israel will have no choice whatsoever to decimate as much as possible forces and sources of trouble - that means lots of dead civilians. Don't worry though, the Arabs, Egyptians and Persians do it to themeselves anyways so who cares?

If this happens and it causes the finish of the Moslem Brotherhood that would be a great gift Israel could give to Egypt. Maybe having Israeli tanks rolling though Cairo will change the Egyptians way of thinking. Its fun to make threats and have emotional demonstrations but words have consequences and there is sometimes a grim price to pay for your fun. Maybe the next group to rule will be the Copts.
