Saudi Views on Iran WMD………..
“The Iranian quest for nuclear weapons is a worry for the whole world, especially for the Arab countries that are nervous over measures that the world must take in order for the nightmare not to become reality….I had talks with top diplolmats in 13 member states of the Arab league, and it became clear to me that their main worry is that Iran will get the bomb not to threaten Israel but to blackmail them...….” Asharq Alawsat (Saudi) Columnist
“West getting impatient and Iran says they have provided an opinion not a response……. Iran wants new talks, but France and the USA have warned Iran that she must answer officially within a certain period…..…..” Asharq Alawsat
Saudi media is frustrated, which means the oligarchs who own them are frustrated. They are clearly begging for a military strike against Iran, without explicitly saying so. I suspect the goal is not a few nuclear bunkers, but rather the Command and Control of the military and the Revolutionary Guard. Clearly the Israelis disappointed in 2006, failed to do the hoped-for job on Iran’s proxy Hezbullah in the last war. The target has shifted to the source, Iran. But like in the old story: who will bell the cat? Surely not the Saudis. Nor the Israelis who would have logistics problems.
