No Saudi Bid to Intercept “Israel” Warplanes en Route to Iran: Barak
Local Editor
"Israeli" Minister for Military Affairs Ehud Barak has dismissed earlier reports that Saudi Arabia had informed "Israel", via the US, that Riyadh will intercept "Israeli" planes entering its airspace environment en route to Iran for an attack.
In his Thursday interview with Radio "Israel", Barak went on to say, "We should not react or respond to these reports. The issue of attacking Iran is too important to let a report like this decide in which direction it goes."
He also pointed out that the US and "Israel" have developed closer views on launching a military strike against Iran.
Barak noted that in case he and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decide to attack Iran, the issue needs to be approved by the cabinet.
Washington and Tel Aviv have repeatedly threatened Tehran with a military strike to force it to halt its nuclear energy program, claimed by the duo to have been directed towards the acquisition of military nuclear capability.
But Iran has dismissed the allegation and the threats, pledging a crushing response to any attack on its soil.
