?We cannot live with a nuclear Iran? ? Arab diplomat - RT
Still think that the Saudis and others will not allow airspace access to Israel?

Politically, what Ambassador Yousef al-Otaiba was eloquently quoted as saying is also true. He said that we are in trouble with regards to what Iran is doing in the region today, so just imagine what Tehran will do when it has nuclear capabilities! Indeed imagine Iran's mentality and behavior after it gains nuclear capabilities and realizes that no country in the world is capable of entering a war with it. Therefore what is truly wrong is the reluctance of our politicians to express their opinions and concerns towards the most dangerous threat that is facing our region in a hundred years, not the opposite!

That last bit about the US is very significant. That 'We' naturally include Israel. What the UAE ambassador is saying is that 'We' will tacitly allow Israel to attack Iran's nuclear facilities if the US will not take the offer. Israel has been around for slightly over half a century but it is the theological Iran that is the greatest regional threat in over one hundred years."I think it's a cost-benefit analysis," Mr. al-Otaiba commented. "I think despite the large amount of trade we do with Iran, which is close to $12 billion there will be consequences, there will be a backlash and there will be problems with people protesting and rioting and very unhappy that there is an outside force attacking a Muslim country; that [protests are] going to happen no matter what."
We cannot live with a nuclear Iran, the ambassador told his audience.
The ambassador concluded that his country would never accept a nuclear Iran.
"The United States may be able to live with it," he said. "We can't."
