"And remember, Israel can't just send their bombers directly to Iran. They have to fly over either Turkey, Syria and Iraq, or Saudi Arabia to get there. It's almost certain that none of those countries will approve of Israeli overflights to bomb Iran. Israel's only alternative to violating sovereign air space and encountering unfriendly air defenses would be to fly almost three times the distance to and from, down the Red Sea and around the entire Arabian peninsula and enter Iraq from the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman, a route requiring at least one mid-air refueling and giving Iran hours to prepare it's air defenses. You'll almost certainly be reading news of how Israel might negotiate this obstacle before anything happens."

Excellent and very important point.
