File under: Govt of Iran

#1 Of course Israel has to formally deny this rumor. They might still overfly Saudi Arabia on their way to Iran.

#2 It's not protests that IAF worries about.

#3 I don't understand why this "secret Saudi-Israeli agreement" ever got out. Doesn't seem like it benefits either party. Maybe they will hire Governor Palin to teach them how to keep a secret. She could use the money. Looks like her attorney fees may have just begun.

#4 There are secrets and then there are secrets. It's no secret that Israel has but three routes for their airplanes to deliver ordnance in Iran:

a) fly over Jordan and Iraq

b) fly over Turkey

c) fly over Saudi-controlled Arabia

Even the Iran air defense generals know this. So it isn't a secret to speculate openly about option (c), and it helps rattle the cages of the Mad Mullahs, who recently have been pre-occupied.

This isn't a revelation of a secret, it's part of the psy-ops war.

#6 Sure, and nobody is better at that than Fleet Street :-)

But combine this 'revelation' with the news that a Israeli Dolphin class sub transited the Suez Canal and "Stumblin' Joe" Biden's statement that the Israelis are free to do as they wish, and if you're an Iranian general or admiral, you have to be worried.
