Of course they would. They are Sunni. Iranians are Shia. And/or the fact that Iranians aren't Arab by ethnicity, also encourages this.

Is this supposed to be talked about so openly? Is Ha'aretz doing a NYT turn here?

Threats of a 3 pronged attack seems to be saber rattling at this point unless IDF brass plan to either land and refuel at Incirlik or Al Anbar airstrips on the way in, or land and refuel on US carriers on the way out.

UNIFIL naval assets off the coast of Lebanon will be lit up by the IDF on their way out. Hez intelligence will probably have ample time to pick up increased UNIFIL naval radio traffic, and transfer the info to the Iranians.

But this sounds like saber rattling, and ridiculous at that, the Gulf States have bought how many billion dollars of air force ordinance from Western countries? Yet they'd rather the Israeli and American infidels take the post strike consequences.
