Coming from an Iranian news source I doubt this story is true. What I find curious is why the Israeli MSM is reporting this

So the Iranians are trying to pick a fight with the Saudis. Why?

I can maybe see the Saudis looking the other way while the Israelis use their airspace if they think they have plausible deniability. That they would do something overt like this is Debka-style fantasy.

Huge airbase there but it is too close to a populated area and not very close to Iran. I doubt this base will be used to stage the attack. They need something far more isolated and located much closer to Iran.

In times of war the truth is so valuable that he must be surrounded by a bodyguard of lies.

I find it interesting that the Iranians would report it. It makes the regime appear more isolated in the Muslim world. The rulers of Araby are more interested in maintaining their cushy lives than annihilating Israel. Judenhass is boob bait for the masses, a distraction to ward off modernizing influences. They fear the Persians with good reason, mostly because their revolutionary fervor is roiling the waters the Islamic racket is floating on.

‘why the Israeli MSM is reporting this’

Perhaps it’s disinformation.

Maybe similar to Allied news ‘leaks’ about Patton leading an invasion into Dunkirk while the main invasion was going to Normandy.

JMO...

Sounds like pre-attack disinfo campaign on both sides.

Not much meat in this article and no sources.

But...

It is an interesting idea. I can't imagine the Saudi’s going along with this even if they want Iran put down, because there is no way they could hide their assistance after the fact.

The Saudis don't want this kind of thing published...particularly if it's true.

The base will reportedly be used as a forward operating base by the Israelis as part of an offensive on an Islamic country.

An FOB in Tabuk doesn't make sense as it would not be forward to Iran, or Syria, or Turkey. Only to Yemen or Oman, and only marginally (it's a short drive from Tabuk to the Jordanian border and Aqaaba, and Eilat from there).

A source from the secret Israeli base in Saudi Arabia says... the tough as nails Israeli Raid Commander has been identified!

If they were spotted, they weren't the IAF.

(Unless, of course, they wanted to be spotted)

This story is a complete mess.

I fails to mention that the base is the King Faisal Air Base that is only 120 miles from Israel.

OK, forward staging need to be in forward locations.

This story was generated by FARS and PressTV, both PR wings of Iran. Pure nonsense.

If Israel were allowed to use Tabuk, where the Saudi's keep most of their F-15's, no one would know about it.

This story started with an air traveler at the public airport who saw an Israeli El AL cargo plane unloading freight to be trucked into Saudi Arabia as that is the only port of entry for Israeli airplanes.

I hope it’s true that Israel is doing something, but I have serious doubts about this report. I wish Israel would get on with it though - and finish the job thoroughly - which is probably the attitude of most Americans, most non-Islamic Europeans, and even most Arabs. The down side is that once Israel saves our bacon (why do I suspect that the Arabs don’t use that phrase?), everyone is going to complain about Israel, protest the actions they are secretly celebrating, and generally try to make Israel pay politically for doing what Obama is too big a sissy to do and every other country is too weak to risk.

Looks like “over” is not the correct word. “In” is.
