Saudis test clearing skies for Israel to bomb Iran: report

Saudi Arabia has conducted tests to stand down its air defences to allow Israeli warplanes to use its airspace in any bombing raid on Iran’s nuclear facilities, The Times newspaper reported Saturday.

“The Saudis have given their permission for the Israelis to pass over and they will look the other way,” a US defence source in the region told the paper.

“They have already done tests to make sure their own jets aren?t scrambled and no one gets shot down. This has all been done with the agreement of the (US) State Department.”
