It’s hard to say what Obama is saying in private.
Maybe something like, “If you try to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities, we will shoot down your jets before they get there.”
Or: “Remember that Advanced Weaponry you asked for last year, we have decided to sent it to Saudi Arabia instead.”

or perhaps “yes, I spoke with King Abdullah and they agree the strike must be pretty soon. We know he will allow you Saudi airspace for transit and air to air refueling. They are still onboard for providing air cover for your strike force.”
