No, they want America to do something about Iran. We're the only ones with a naval presence in the Gulf strong enough to repulse an Iranian attack. They have normal, ostensibly friendly relations with us, and our militaries train together.I'd argue that other than using the Israeli PM's speech, there really isn't any involvement of Israel here. This is about Saudi Arabia, Iran, and the US. Israel has their own reasons to want the US to take a hard line on Iran, but Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf states have a far more concrete reason to want to see Iran marginalized militarily. |
