Dominance of the Persian Gulf. This story sounds strange, but the Times is a good source.I agree. They're better than any media outlet we've got here. By far.

“Whats in it for Saudi Arabia?”
The Saudi Arabians don't won't to live near a hostile nuclear-armed Iran anymore than the Israels. IMO it's about the Saudis not being blackmailed at sometime in the future.

The Saudi Royals walk a tight rope between pandering to the Islamic extremists, while maintaining their alliances with the Imans, West, etc, in an attmept to maintain their power. The Saudi Royals are not extremists.

Not that the Saudi AF could shoot down any Israeli plane. The Israelis have one of the best trained air forces on the planet.

I dont believe it. Like minds.
Nonetheless, highly plausible.
A nuclear Iran, which would dominate the Persian Gulf nations, is not in the Saudis best interests.
There's that. And there's also Shi'ite vs Sunni.
No question, the Saudis would welcome a takedown on Iran. Even if it came from Israel. Whether they actually want it officially known is a separate question.

Whats in it for Saudi Arabia?
Saudi Arabia is threatened by an aggressive, extremist Iran seeking to expand its sphere of influence in the Islamic world.

Israel ought to just do it today, except like USMR said, can they get back safely?
Probably several of the Israeli pilots are like the crazy American pilots who bombed Tokyo off an aircraft carrier in WWII. They were crazy too. Little chance to get back, but a chance to be part of military history that few others can claim.

the Saudis would be happy if they shot down a few IAF planes just for PR
It would not surprise some if that was an agreed deal with Israel. Allow some planes to be shot down to cover Saudi Arabia in the muslim world.

That’s probably it. Allow 5 or so (of our) B2s there and back, take out a few IDF fighters for show on the return.

The Saudis, and others, privately thanked Israel for taking out Osirak. I suspect there is more communications going between Israel and Saudi Arabia, as well as other Arab countries, than what is let on.

This one is not new, and as before, is probably Iranian agitprop.

They maintain regional hegemony.

Best case would be for Israel to bomb Mecca - the real terror center - on the way to Tehran.
On the way back annihilate Ankara.
