Report: IAF helicopters unload equipment 'meant for attacking a Muslim state' at Saudi airport

Sounds just a tad wild and the reliability of the report is extremely iffy. But, perhaps the strongest cause for friendship is a common enemy.

Dont do it Israel. You cant be sure to destroy Irans nuclear weapons program with bombs. Its stupid. Economic snctions are the way to go and black ops. Kill the scientist and undermine the iranian regime.

Not sure why everyone keeps saying that the US can't afford a war or that Obama won't allow US or Israeli forces to continue. Clearly Saudi-Arabia has a lot to gain, since they have always had bad relations with the other regional power, iran, and now that iraq is strengthening relations with iran they would see nothing rather than a blow to them. And as for war, the 1981 operation to bomb the iraqi nuclear reactor didn't lead to direct war, so why should this one.

Assuming this is true and with all this denial from the arabs and Israel saying nothing sounds like it is but if it is true the IAF should have at least thought to cover their markings. Things like this though are much more likely to bring peace than any artificial treaties because this builds trust and at a military level. Long term the best form of peace making would be to create some kind of Middle East version of NATO to deal with all threats in the region not just Iran and an attack against one of us is an attack against all. Israel has the hardware and military knowledge arabs don't and the arabs have the money. Together they can create a major military force to defend the Middle East and surrounding areas from all threats. Ability to make war usually has a better chance of peace making than treaties you been dragged into and are just words on paper it doesn't lead to good relations.

My post lasted all but 20 minutes. Guess we all know now that the truth touched some nerves. OK, so Israeli Helicopters were not there, where is Saudi Arabia? gosh, sorry Jerusalem and the military censor. Bet Tehran read the post. Good day.

Wow – what a scoop!!! HaAretz quotes a semi official Iranian news agency and includes a file photo of an Israeli helicopter to bolster the story. Will your next article feature a story about the pro Israeli Martian militia that set up a base on Venus to shoot down Iranian missiles?

Wishful thinking !

Saudi Arabia has any number of military air bases, and any IAF choppers could land at them without any nosey civvies knowing about it. This sounds like so much nonsense.

How do these reports know there was equipment meant for an attack on a "muslim" country? Were there 'burkas' in the shipment ? Maybe 'persian' carpets for praying?Possibly there were loudspeakers to call people to pray? Simply how do they know?

This is all propaganda the purpose of which is to tell Iran that Saudis are your enemy and to threaten Iran with Nukes. In reality, the U.S. is broke fighting two wars. They can't afford to fight a new war at all. I am afraid their economy is headed for a complete collapse.

By the time Iran has anywhere near the real capability to harm Israel, Israel could make peace and never have to worry...

"A semi-official Iranian news agency"... is this for real? The official Iranian agency is a stranger to truth, so we're expected to believe an unofficial one? I'll wait for confirmation from a reputable source before I believe this, if you don't mind.

The Americans have had bases in the Saudi Kingdom for over 20 years now, chances are more than likely that IAF Planes and Americans Jewish personal worked and operated there on those bases.

Where is our skepticism on this report? Look on the map. Do fully loaded helicopters have that range? Is the distance from Tabuk to Iran (supposedly the target) that much closer?? I sense wishful thinking and paranoidism here.

One need only study the range/payload/density altitude characteristics of Israel's helicopters to evaluate the credibility of this report.

very good.. very good..

If this is true, it's a case where the press should keep their mouths shut. Why would you jeopardize actions by potentially embarrasing certain parties. If this paper knew about the Entebee rescue plans in advance, would you have told the Ugandan bandits? Again if this story is true, why force the Saudis to look bad if they are secretly being cooperative?

What else is new?

Psychological war operators are having a dream. No matter how much some in Saudi Arabia would like to see Iran take a fall, not in a million years will the guardians of the Islamic holy places overtly co-operate with the Jewish State in a war against Muslim Iran.

Obama will not attack Iran nor will he allow Israel to attack Iran. Such an attack would make targets of Suadi oil fields, disrupt the American efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq, close the Persian Gulf, cause a missile barrage on Israel, further devastate world markets, and invite a response upon American targets worldwide. And this is only the first couple of days following an attack upon Iran. If you want to spread disinformation, it is better to make it believable.

It's going to be a HOT summer.

Are America and Israel really that stupid? America cannot afford another war and Israel will, as usual, sit back and let others do the fighting for them.
