Here’s a thought: It’s an open secret that the Saudis are going to turn a blind eye to Israeli overflights if TSHTF. If the Saudis “miss” the Israelis using an “abandoned” base, or even just making a dirt strip and pre-positioning supplies in the middle of nowhere, most of those logistical problems go away, and the Saudis still have deniability.
Just a thought...
Yup. The Saudis may even provide tankers, CAP, and ECM for the strike as well as bases. Jordan and Saudi Arabia have given Israel overflight permission (rumors go), so it appears that “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
The facts are that the entire Persian Gulf region is terrified of Iran getting nukes. The only one with the stones to kill the Persian monster appears to be Israel — out of sheer survival. Things are going to get interesting and soon.
