Saudi Arabia gives Israel clear skies to attack Iranian nuclear sites

Saudi Arabia has conducted tests to stand down its air defences to enable Israeli jets to make a bombing raid on Iran’s nuclear facilities, The Times can reveal.

In the week that the UN Security Council imposed a new round of sanctions on Tehran, defence sources in the Gulf say that Riyadh has agreed to allow Israel to use a narrow corridor of its airspace in the north of the country to shorten the distance for a bombing run on Iran. To ensure the Israeli bombers pass unmolested, Riyadh has carried out tests to make certain its own jets are not scrambled and missile defence systems not activated. Once the Israelis are through, the kingdom’s air defences will return to full alert.

“The Saudis have given their permission for the Israelis to pass over and they will look the other way,” said a US defence source in the area. “They have already done tests to make sure their own jets aren’t scrambled and no one gets shot down. This has all been done with the agreement of the [US] State Department.”

Sources in Saudi Arabia say it is common knowledge within defence circles in the kingdom that an arrangement is in place if Israel decides to launch the raid. Despite the tension between the two governments, they share a mutual loathing of the regime in Tehran and a common fear of Iran’s nuclear ambitions. “We all know this. We will let them [the Israelis] through and see nothing,” said one.

they think of their national interests unlike IRI which thinks of Islam's interests.

Every day I get more impressed by the Great deception Mohammad pulled with his book the Quran.

He managed to have non Arabs fighting for his cause and wars, while he and the Arabs sit back and enjoy the bootys of the war........

Can you think of any personality who has been able to pull off something like that?

Unfortunately there will always be civilian casualties in such operations. Lets hope it is just rumour and not true.

I am in fulll support of Israeli airstrikes

But for those who are die hards of the Islamic Republic and support the Arabs of the Gaza, Hamas and the Lebanese terrior group, here is your proof that the wothless Saudi's to which this regimes cowtows so much and wates billions of Iranian dollars for even worthless Haj trips.  Spend more of your hard earn dollars on these Arabs while they are going behind your back.  Not that there is anything wrong with the Israeli's doing what they have to do.  What is wrong is for the worthless Saudi's supporting it.  I want to have nothing with these Saudis when it comes to Iran after the IRI.  we should support Israel in expanding its territories, in fact into the Arabian desert and perhaps we can hope that the Israeli's can one day conduct air raids into Mecca and Medina and level those worthless cities to rubble.
