"Defence sources in the Gulf?" Come on. This is juicy stuff, if it's true, but just because "The Times can reveal" it doesn't make it so. Not one of these sources has a name, and the article seems to be full of obvious speculation about what Israel COULD do.

A major flaw in this piece is that the Saudis oppose an Israeli attack on Iran, and they say the biggest threat to peace in the Middle East is Israel' oppression of the Palestinians. Not Iran.

Probably a story planted to manipulate public opinion.
