Part I. Israel bombs a nuclear plant in Iran (65)

 

Chapter 25 US Military embarks on (3) Diplomacy between US and Saudi Arabia (1/3)


When the Israeli government revealed its plan to bomb Natanz nuclear facilities and asked U.S. assistance, the White House understood that Israel finally determined to go ahead. It was the U.S. job to utilize the diplomatic power on Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Iraq where Israel convoy use each airspace as the flight route to and from Iran. White House ordered three countries not to interrupt Israel convoy and let them fly on each airspace. Of the three countries, Jordan and Iraq were out of the question because they had no ability to reject U.S. request. The problem was Saudi Arabia which had their own powerful air force combat ability. Israel also had the almost same system as Saudi Arabia. Because both of them had been supplied by U.S.

 

Washington finally persuaded the King of Saudi Arabia to allow the Israeli plane to fly over. Of course, he added that it also made benefit for neighboring Arab countries including Saudi Arabia to destroy Iran's nuclear facilities. Just after that conversation, U.S. Secretary of Defense made the same offer to the Saudi Arabian Defense Minister. The Secretary of Defense also mentioned that refueling aircraft would meet the jet fighters coming back from Iran over the Arabian Peninsula.
