Report: 3 Gulf states agree to IAF overflights en route to Iran

By Yoav Stern and Yossi Melman, Haaretz Correspondents

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.

British newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported Saturday that Israel is negotiating with the U.S. over permission for an "air corridor" over Iraq, should an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities become necessary.

Deputy Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh on Saturday denied the reports and said Israel has no such plans

Of course they do.

Shites are like the Jehovah's Witnesses of Christianity.

Everyone hates them.

The 3 nations allowing flyovers don't seem to be in very strategic locations. They are all coastal so we could use the waterway without violating their airspaces. Now if we had access to the Caspian region...

This stinks of BS from word one. No monarchy Araba nation is stupid enough to allow such flights. Its simply an invention for every wacko screaming Jihad to commit further acts of terrorims in those nations. every "moderate" arab nation is on the S-list along with America and every one of those nations have experinced bombs go off in there nations in the years sionece 9-11 assistacne tio Isreal is the fastest and most effective way for a Araba nation to get a full frontal assult of car bombs in there cities.
