Arab States Will Allow Israel to Overfly on the Way to Iran

Several Arab states have reportedly okayed overflights by the Israeli Air Force in the event they wish to pass through on their way to take out the Iranian nuke facilities:

Three Arab states in the Persian Gulf would be willing to allow the Israel Air force to enter their airspace in order to reach Iran in case of an attack on its nuclear facilities, the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Siyasa reported on Sunday.

According to the report, a diplomat from one of the gulf states visiting Washington on Saturday said the three states, Qatar, Oman and the United Arab Emirates, have told the United States that they would not object to Israel using their airspace, despite their fear of an Iranian response.

Al-Siyasa further reported that NATO leaders are urging Turkey to open its airspace for an Attack on Iran as well and to also open its airports and borders in case of a ground attack.

According to a British diplomat who spoke to an Al-Siyasa correspondent, Turkey will not repeat the mistake it made in 2003, when it refused to open its airspace to U.S. Air Force overflights en route to attacking Iraq.

I think there's a concerted P.R. effort going on right now to put pressure on the Iranians. Stories keep coming out about U.S. plans for an attack, and now this story about the possible Israeli airstrikes. The mad mullahs must be getting a little nervous.

I personally believe that a strike by the Israelis is far more likely than an American strike. We may provide some logistical support, but I think we may let the Israelis take care of this problem for us. They probably have the most to lose from a nuclear armed Iran.
