Reply to comment by LatterTarget7 in Massive fire breaks out at oil refinery in Iran by slc73

I suppose it’s possible but I think a more likely ally in such an operation would be the Azerbaijanis they are close partners and Israel have agreements to use air bases in the country.

And Azerbaijan unlike the saudis are not afraid to openly work with the state of Israel.

Egypt is also openly working with Israel, but their people hate Israel.

That’s not just an Egypt thing in that region.

Egypt, Jordan, Saudi, UAE they are all not so secretly friends with Israel at this point

Yes, but let me tell you the people of those nations absolutely hate that friendship.

Oh definitely, I lived in Jordan for a short time while learning Arabic and saw that first hand.

Jordan has a huge Palestinian population and they have some strong feelings for Israelis...

Absolutely, you know it brother. We got to see some of those feelings during the recent World Cup as well.

I can tell you that those were responsible for creating Israel quite likely did not expect this vitriol or steadfastness from the Arab world.

The Arab countries are struggling big time, there are schemes that turn Arab against Arab instead of helping each other. Countries like Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria were wealthy (not really Syria but there economy was growing incredibly fast from 2006-2010) but the destabilizing forces don't like strong neighbouring rival countries. Divisions over religion are causing quite the stir as well, where those differences would be celebrated in a country like Canada.

They are also close enough to lunch the drones that were suspected to be used in these strikes

Lunching the drones is ok, just don’t wine and dine them.
