"Iran, Syria, and Hizbullah are preparing their forces for the
possibility of a summer war in the event that the US carries out a military
strike against Iran, Head of IDF Military Intelligence Major General Amos
Yadlin said Sunday.

"We are not speaking of preparations for a war to be carried out at
their (Iran, Syria, and Hizbullah) own initiative. Their deployments, in
our opinion, are those of a defensive nature," Yaldin said in his
briefing at the government's weekly cabinet meeting.

"They fear military action initiated by the Americans, whom they
anticipate to be planning an attack against Iran in the summer,"
Yadlin said. "

Hey it's one opinion.

If the US went into an offensive posture wrt Iran then I fear it would do
so bereft of allies in it's venture (with one notable exception).

The UAE (A good mate to the USA) has asked that it's facilities be in no
way used wrt Iran.

I'd not be surprised to see Bahrain & Qatar follow suit.

There'd still be Kuwait (which is why the mouth of the shat al arab is so sensitive).

However the run between the northern Indian ocean & Kuwait might be
fraught with risk.
