It all seems highly unlikely, and more examples of rumours and bluff. However, some writers who are Saudi watchers say that the sources, although anonymous, are real and high placed.

IMO, it’s weird enough to be true. What the Israelis really need is forward basing, though - be interesting to see if and how the Saudis supply that.

Must have been leaked from our administration with their close ties to the Saudis.

its amazing that our fly infested Belshazzar has presented such an incompetent appeasement toward the evil that is the leadership of Iran,

that this could actually be some new form of mideast reality taking shape,

There is a lot of bluff, bluster, psych warfare and covert operations involved in Israel’s handling of Iran because an overt military attack would cause military and diplomatic hostilities against Israel.

The truth about what’s really going on will come out in the
end.

We’ll know if Bibi Netanyahu is a Reagan or a Boehner on Iran and the Palestinian talks now going on alongside the Iran issue.

We’ll be the last to know anything. I’m sure the world knows to keep Obama outta the loop.

It appears the Israelis may consider the Saudi’s a more reliable ally that the USA...

This is like the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact.

I don’t find this strange at all. The last thing Saudi Arabia wants is a nuclear armed Iran. Everyone on the planet is subject to blackmail then.

Terrorists getting nuclear tech direct from the terrorist state. Man, that is a worst case scenario if there very was one.

“It all seems highly unlikely, and more examples of rumours and bluff.”

The thing is (and no one seems to be mentioning this, I might add) — what happens if Obama’s “peace talks” fail?

Right now it is rumored Iran is 1-6 months from a bomb

Obama wants to “talk it out”

...so, what if we cant “talk it out”?

If the talks fail, doesn’t that kind of mean we ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO go to war? But who in their right mind thinks Obama will?

Israel & SA discussing this would only make sense in that case

My memory of the Lebanese War a few years ago is that the Saudis were encouraging Israel to go all the way into the Bekaa Valley, to keep going until they had destroyed Hezbollah.

The Israelis, under Olmert, only pushed into Southern Lebanon. But it was one of the surprises of the war to see the Saudis giving Israel the green light to go go go. But understandable, since Hezbollah is Iran’s catspaw, and Iran is the country the Saudis fear most.

It just showed that the middle east is a bit more complicated than most people notice.

Obama will finally have the distraction he needs, and the US military will attack Iran to protect itself from retaliation from an Israeli strike.

The Saudis are out shopping for nuclear weapons because they no longer trust America for their defense. They fear attack from Iran. They have more in common with Israel than they do with Obama ruled America.

Well Putin is once again working with Egypt so pretty much anythings possible in the International Events today. Obama certainly isn’t taking any stands except against the citizens of our own nation!

Also, if Saudi is working with Israel the Saudi’s would not broadcast it. However I wouldn’t put it past Iran to put that out there...masters at propaganda they are....

No, this is really old news.

The alliance has been leaked for several years. Prior to the series of invo;untary set backs to the Iranian programs, Saudi Arabia leaked the fact that IAF planes could use Saudi air space and land at a specified base thought to ne Al Batin

I not so sure it’s a bluff. Saudi Arabia and Iran hate each other. It’s a tribal thing, and has existed for centuries. Saudi Arabia is Arab and Sunni; Iran is Persian and Shiite. They despise each other.

Could be a bid while the negotiations are still underway.

With some good luck, they are letting it out and hoping it is seen as a potential influence, and then it will really happen.
