1. ROFL!!! This Article Wins Propaganda Award!!
Nour ,   Palestine   (07.05.09)
Not only is it full of lies and wishful thinking, but also humor. Truly, this is apalling! Saudi knows fully well that in the event it is seen as lending a hand in an illegal assault on Iran, pandora's box will be opened not only through conventional reprisal action but also "civil disturbances" in the Eastern Region of Hasa, Qatif, etc. YNET Grow up, your israeli readers might be gullible but in reality the wider audience knows better.
2. I am sure its true but who leaked it?
zionist forever   (07.05.09)
The whabis don't want to tell the whole world in advance thats as good as declaring war on Iran and saying we are doing our part to help bomb Iran. They will have the most the muslim world on their backs and find themselves preasured into changing their minds which will only make it harder for Israel to help them fight a mutual enemy. Israel doesn't need to advertise the fact it is doing deals with the whabis or anybody else and it will make it difficult for Israel to do secret deals in future. Whoever opened their big mouth and leaked this information if its true needs to be disciplined whatever country they are in.
3. Are the saudis more reasonable?
Dave Ronen ,   Haifa   (07.05.09)
One cannot help but think of the Iranian president's close parallels to Hitler, who ultimately brought disaster upon the world, his own people, and himself. Just as the West today fears that nuclear weapons in the hands of this irrational leader could lead to a worldwide apocalypse, the West also feared expanded Nazi military aggression so much that it put Hitler's systematic annihilation of the Jews on the backburner as described at : http://xrl.us/bizzs
4. to #1 no you you fool, that is yellow journalism.
ghostq   (07.05.09)
anyway I do believe that both Israel and Saudi Arabia don't like Iran(under statment) in the same amount so it's only logic that in dooms day(and that day is getting closer by the minute) saudi Arabia will let any one fly over her teritiry to bomb Iran, my guess is the saudis will even supply the equipment. and that is all cause Iran helped to repreasent the king as a fool after his offer for rigional peace to Israel(Iran rockes put an end to the offer- including hamas refusal to continu the Tahadia, something he asked nicely and they said butt out)
5. *** IRAN HAS VERY LIMITED RETALIATORY CAPABILITIES. ***
vit ,   usa   (07.05.09)
*** IRAN HAS VERY LIMITED RETALIATORY CAPABILITIES. *** 1) Iran has very limited capabilities as far as its own retaliatory capacity is concerned. 2) Iran’s air force cannot compete with any Western air force let alone the air forces of Israel or the United States. Its anti-aircraft defenses might account for a few planes but would not be able to stop the air strikes directed at its facilities. Iran’s principle retaliatory mechanism is the long range Shihab missile. 3) Estimates put the number of Shihab missiles in Iran’s inventory at around 100. The Shihab is a large rocket that needs a large launch platform and therefore is easily tracked via satellite. The locations of Iran’s Shihabs are known and have been tracked in the West and Israel for some time. 4) That said…The first waves of attacking aircraft will go after not only the nuke facilities but also Iran’s long range Shihabs. Iran might be able to launch some Shihabs but it’s reply will be weak and uncoordinated. The few Shihabs that will get off the ground will be taken out by Israel’s multi-layered anti-missile defense system which is designed specifically for this type of threat. 5) The bigger problem isn’t Iran’s military capability; rather it is Hezbollah short range rocket arsenal which cannot be eliminated from the air. The rockets that Hezbollah has are small in size and therefore difficult to spot from the air. 6) To counter this threat (unlike in 2006) Israel has already drawn up plans for a full-scale invasion of S. Lebanon. The plan is for 75,000 troops backed by 1000 tanks to cross into Lebanon simultaneously. They will reach the Litani River within 48 hrs. Lebanon's infrastructure will also be on the receiving end of a bombing campaign that will make 2006 look tiny. Israel launched a full-scale invasion of Lebanon in 1982 and is prepared to do it again if necessary. 7) Meanwhile... If Iran will chooses to f*** with shipping lanes of the Gulf or strike at other American interests, then the full brunt of four American Carrier Groups (which are near by) will be brought to bear. 8) It Seems To Me That 'Some People' Who Post Here In Support Of Iran Have Very Little Military Knowledge And Totally Lack The Capacity For Strategic Thought.
6. #5: Great tactics!
Wildmandxb ,   M.E.   (07.05.09)
In response to your comment specifically #8, it seems to me that you are an idiot! had it been so easy, israel and the usa would have proceeded with your 'tactical strategy' a very long time ago. however, i hope there are many israelis who would agree with you, the war against iran shall begin, and then, only then, will pathetic minded people like you understand the real consequences of such a stupid idea!
7. Who the hell leaked this out?
Ali ,   KSA   (07.05.09)
Gees, you can't be trusted with secrets. That was supposed to be a secret you stupid. Meir Dagan out.
8. SURE THING !!!.
OAO STRANKA. ,   TSARIGRAD U SRBIA.   (07.05.09)
ISRAEL WILL IN THE FUTURE BE IN ALIANCE WITH - HESEKIEL CHAPTER 38., vers - 13Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to seize a spoil? hast thou gathered thine assemblage to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take cattle and goods, to seize a great spoil? YEMEN, SAUDI-ARABIA and EU. Orao.
9. to #8 yep you right, alienences were predetermined
ghostq   (07.05.09)
it happened befor, it will happen again just imagin saudi money and Israel brains, can means unbreakable undefetable empire.
10. #1, #7 Nour & Ali
Zvi   (07.05.09)
#1 Nour - Actually the Sunday Times is making the claim. Ynet is reporting that Israel's PMO says it's false. Who's immature here? #7 Ali (KSA) - I expect that it was leaked by someone on the Saudi side who wants to sabotage the deal. If the deal ever existed at all. General comment: What IS true is that the Gulf Arabs are much more worried about Iran than they are about Israel. This is nothing new. The reason why the Gulf countries buy expensive American weapons these days is to deter Iran - not to deter Israel, which has never attacked them or their interests abroad. Lastly, to Nour again, if anyone should be on Israel's side on the nuclear confrontation with Iran, it should be you and your people, because if Iran uses nuclear weapons to destroy Israel, they will kill more Palestinian Arabs (all civilians) in the first 10 minutes than every other enemy the Palestinians have ever fought, combined. The fall-out will poison for 100s-1000s of years every inch of the land that you squabble over, and the radioactive waste leaching into the groundwater will kill 10 Palestinians for every one killed during the initial conflict. Nour, do you REALLY want to take the risk that the IRI cares more about your right to live and prosper than it cares about showing how strong it is so that it can intimidate its neighbors? Do you REALLY want Khamenei and Ahmadinejad to have nuclear weapons ready to use against your next-door neighbors?
11. 'Saudis to overlook IAF jets'
HE ,   Oslo, NORWAY   (07.05.09)
Could not publishing this information jeopardise such an option - if it were true?
12. Saudi to allow IAF to overfly
Ger ,   Raanana, Israel`   (07.05.09)
When will we ever learn to keep our mouths shut? Now the Saudis will be forced to deny it (even if it was true), and another opportunity goes down the drain.
13. #7 question for u
D ,   haifa   (07.05.09)
how would you rather die ? by being humiliated , water you drink and food you eat poisened which causes slow death , living under the worst of the worst occupation ever , living like an animal , or just having one attomic bomb to get it over with fast and easy ??? palestinians will choose the second option , iam sure ....
14. i meant # 10 and not 7
(07.05.09)
15. TALKBACK NUMBER 9.
OAO STRANKA. ,   TSARIGRAD U SRBIA.   (07.05.09)
just imagin saudi money and Israel brains, can means unbreakable undefetable empire. THIS IS MY IMAGINATION !!!. EU - DANIEL CHAPTER 9 vers - 27And he shall confirm a covenant with the many [for] one week; and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and because of the protection of abominations [there shall be] a desolator, even until that the consumption and what is determined shall be poured out upon the desolate. YEMEN and SAUDI-ARABIA - FROM NEW TESTAMENT REVELATION CHAPTER 13., verses - 11And I saw another beast rising out of the earth; and it had two horns like to a lamb, and spake as a dragon; 12and it exercises all the authority of the first beast before it, and causes the earth and those that dwell in it to do homage to the first beast, whose wound of death was healed. 13And it works great signs, that it should cause even fire to come down from heaven to the earth before men. 14And it deceives those that dwell upon the earth by reason of the signs which it was given to it to work before the beast, saying to those that dwell upon the earth to make an image to the beast, which has the wound of the sword, and lived. 15And it was given to it to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should also speak, and should cause that as many as should not do homage to the image of the beast should be killed. 16And it causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bondmen, that they should give them a mark upon their right hand or upon their forehead; 17and that no one should be able to buy or sell save he that had the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of its name. 18Here is wisdom. He that has understanding let him count the number of the beast: for it is a man's number; and its number [is] six hundred [and] sixty-six. THE FIRST BEAST IS EU, THE SECVOND IS SABA and DEDAN, WHO AFTER 3rd W.W., GET ECONOMICAL WORLD RULE. IN THE KORAN IS A CHARACTER CALLED - "DU-AL-KARNAIN", "THE TWO HORNED ONE", WHERE HE IS RECORDED IN A POSITIVE MANNER, BUT THE BIBLE REVEALES HIS TRUE CHARACTER. ISRAEL WILL NOT TAKE THE STREIGT PATH WITH JEHOVAH, UNFORTUNATELY. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWSATpx7uzk&feature=PlayList&p=28FD21568ECB0CBF&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=23 Orao.
16. Response to #1
Hypoxia   (07.05.09)
whether this is propaganda or not, this threat is very immanent and do you realize that if a nuclear bomb was to wipe out Israel, it would wipe out the Palestinian region as well? So as much as the unrest between us, we are both in this together...
17. to #15 you right, shocking how it's all true
ghostq   (07.05.09)
and will become reality. kinda give me the shivers. and the countdown allready began.
18. #10 I see you've been heavily propagandized
Nour ,   Palestine   (07.05.09)
Relax. Just relax. Iran will never, repeat NEVER nuke Israel. Your attitudes and beliefs towards Iran is the product of your own government's propaganda campaign and fear industry. Your own prime minister is a master in this political tactic. What is a certain threat is an Israeli official stupidity vis-a-vis Iran. You got your analysis wrong. Of course it's not in Palestinian's interest to have a single belligerant unchallenged power in the region. We know better, we're not fools, and we're the direct victims of this status quo over the decades.
19. Nour, Palestine
LarryT ,   K.Sava   (07.05.09)
Nour You are already living in Palestine, so why do you keep trying to take Israeli Jewish land? Stop being aggressors and then maybe there will be peace
20. #16: Nour and her people's hatred is so intense...
Steve   (07.05.09)
... they are willing to perish in a nuclear holocaust, just so the Jews will not possess the land of Israel. Remember the story of the two women who came to King Solomon? "Then two women came to the king and stood before him. The one woman said, “Oh, my lord, this woman and I live in the same house; and I gave birth to a child while she was in the house. “It happened on the third day after I gave birth, that this woman also gave birth to a child, and we were together. There was no stranger with us in the house, only the two of us in the house. “This woman’s son died in the night, because she lay on it. “So she arose in the middle of the night and took my son from beside me while your maidservant slept, and laid him in her bosom, and laid her dead son in my bosom. “When I rose in the morning to nurse my son, behold, he was dead; but when I looked at him carefully in the morning, behold, he was not my son, whom I had borne.” Then the other woman said, “No! For the living one is my son, and the dead one is your son.” But the first woman said, “No! For the dead one is your son, and the living one is my son.” Thus they spoke before the king. Then the king said, “The one says, ‘This is my son who is living, and your son is the dead one’; and the other says, ‘No! For your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.’” The king said, “Get me a sword.” So they brought a sword before the king. The king said, “Divide the living child in two, and give half to the one and half to the other.” Then the woman whose child was the living one spoke to the king, for she was deeply stirred over her son and said, “Oh, my lord, give her the living child, and by no means kill him.” (This is Nour and her people): But the other said, “He shall be neither mine nor yours; divide him!” Then the king said, “Give the first woman the living child, and by no means kill him. She is his mother.”
21. to #18 how do you know that? it's a totalitarian
ghostq   (07.05.09)
regim, it's not the Persian choise, it can be a mad leader who on a whim can deside otherwise, to send rocked with unconventional war heads, similar to Sadam's rockets in the Gulf war.
22. #4 phostq "No you fool"
Marco ,   Spain   (07.05.09)
May be this is the kind of language you use to address your mother but when talking to civilized people, you've better watch what comes out of your mouth.
23. #5 vit, usa
Marco ,   Spain   (07.05.09)
You seem to be a military expert, but tell me first, which kookoo's nest did you escape from?
24. #19 LarryT, K.Sava
Marco ,   Spain   (07.05.09)
I pity ignorant fools like you. Do you know what conditions the Palestinians are living under? If not, then I suggest you shut your filthy mouth up.
25. #24 Why blame Israel? Their conditions are self-inflicted
LarryT ,   K.Sava   (07.05.09)
And a pity you do not know that.
26. to #20 the palis don't want to share, they refused
ghostq   (07.05.09)
the partion offer in 1947 and the return to 67 borders in the 90's only now they somehow willing to compermise, but it's too late, the ship already sailed, either it's because their logic work in delay or they r just greedy.
27. Saudis eyes wide shut
Zohan ,   Tel Aviv   (07.05.09)
It is in the best interests of the Saudis to keep an eye shut when IDF's flying over the kingdom. As a matter of fact, the world would be a safer place when Iran's nuke program is knocked down. Who would not want somebody else to do the dirty job for them
28. #24, do you?
Danny   (07.05.09)
29. to #22 you know my mother than.
ghostq   (07.05.09)
