Air-to-air refueling over enemy airspace is problematic, especially given Israels limited tanker resources. They will need a land base, or at the very least airspace free of enemy fighters in order to refuel their strike aircraft. One look at a map will show the likely location of both options, especially in light of the fact that the Saudis fear Iran's nuclear ambitions as much if not more than Israel does.</blockquote>
