This is a good message. A US strategic bomber flew through Israel escorted by Israeli fighters. The B-52 continued to fly through Saudi Arabian airspace and the Saudi Air Force escorted it.
The bomber then proceeded to fly to Qatar and their Air Force provided support as well.
It's amazing how many countries work together to contain Iran.

Read an article last year that proposed transitioning aging B52s to Israel and the IDF. The anticipated reaction was Iran enrichment and testing goes into overdrive

As someone who used to have coordinate overflight agreements this is great stuff. Most don't think about what it takes to get approval for military aircraft to fly over other countries.

SPC Terry Page Lots of interesting history on how military operations were changed or evolved because countries wouldn't grant overflight.

SPC Terry Page That's one on occasion but not as often as some would think.
