"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.

According to a British diplomat who spoke to an Al-Siyasa correspondent,
Turkey will not repeat the mistake it made in 2003, when it refused to open
its airspace to U.S. Air Force overflights en route to attacking
Iraq."

Hohum.

(A) Note how small the UAE & Qatar are so their airspace if available
(if) is somewhat small & not really on anyone's flight path (Israeli
eagles would have to pull a near continuous turn to stay within the UAE)

(B) WRT Oman......this i doubt as Oman has a strict policy of not getting
involved esp wrt actions against the Iranians & frankly what would it
buy you vs flying up the Omani coastline? However given Omani reticence to
comment on anything, they make a useful quoted country.

(C) WRT Turkey.....Quelle crap. To quote some nameless British dip saying
something like that is somewhere twixt humorous & deliberate crap.
Israel ain't the US. Saying no to Israel is cost free where saying yes
could be very very costly esp to those in power.

I am curious where all this fun disinformation campaign is coming from i.e.
whether the Israeli PM'es office, Mossad etc or indeed whether it's being
coordinated with a town on the Potomac.
