I've Been Thinking:

Israel just bought an airstrip/airbase on the northern border of Iran. This is a real game changer.
Israel now has use of an Azerbaijani air base. Israel will revamp it and bring to up to their specs.

It is still unclear if this airbase is one of the four, now abandoned, former Soviet bases in the area or if Israel now has an airbase that Azerbaijan was using up until the purchase.

What is perfectly clear is that Israel now has close access to Iran and can act totally independently, without asking or even informing the United States. Not surprisingly, the United States is livid.

Add to that Saudi Arabian frustration with US inaction on Iran and the desire of the Saudis to help Israel strike at Iran and the possibility that they might themselves provide landing strips for Israeli planes - and you have all the pieces of the Israeli puzzle falling right into place.

It's official. Iran is worried.
