Report: 3 Gulf states agree to IAF overflights en route to Iran

Nope, it's Israel that's going to bomb Iran.

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.


If this does turn out to be true, it shouldn't be a surprise. As I said before, many countries in the middle east are not happy about Iran's nuclear ambitions and would rather end it before Iran has a chance to hold the whole middle east hostage.
