Report: 3 Gulf states agree to IAF overflights en route to Iran

Three Arab states in the Persian Gulf would be willing to allow the Israel Air force to enter their airspace in order to reach Iran in case of an attack on its nuclear facilities, the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Siyasa reported on Sunday.

According to the report, a diplomat from one of the gulf states visiting Washington on Saturday said the three states, Qatar, Oman and the United Arab Emirates, have told the United States that they would not object to Israel using their airspace, despite their fear of an Iranian response.

British newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported Saturday that Israel is negotiating with the U.S. over permission for an "air corridor" over Iraq, should an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities become necessary.

International observers from a score of countries expressed surprise that Israel had appointed Dick “dick” Cheney as its new Foreign Minister. An official of Mr Cheney’s “war shop” – the Iran Study Group – denied these claims, insisting that a consortium from ExxonMobil, Conoco Oil, and Chevron are still the official representatives in the Middle East for both countries.
