Riyadh "offers airspace" for Israeli attack on Iran


Israeli fighter jets have been allowed to use Saudi airspace to launch go-it-alone air strikes on Iranian nuclear installations, says a recent report.

The issue ahs been discussed in a closed-door meeting in London, where British Intelligence Chief Sir John Scarlett his Israeli counterpart, Meir Dagan, and Saudi official have been present Daily Express.

According to the report Scarlett has been told that Saudi airspace would be at Israel's disposal should Tel Aviv decide to move forward with his military plans against Iran.

The British daily added the likelihood of an Israeli attack against Iran has increased significantly after the country announced plans to launch its second enrichment facility in the central city of Qom. More here.

The plot thickens. The most distressing news of all is the prediction, at the end of the article, that an exchange between Iran and Israel could result in 6 million dead. Does that number ring a bell? Holocaust anyone? :-( I guess the number would get higher if Iran's crazy leaders get nukes, but war is hell. Nobody can disagree with that.
