Israel is preparing to potentially intervene in any possible military clash in the Gulf region as tensions between the U.S. and Iran continue to escalate, a top Israeli official said Tuesday.
“It should be taken into account that mistaken calculations by the (Iranian) regime ... are liable to bring about a shift from the ‘gray zone’ to the ‘red zone’ - that is, a military conflagration,” Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said during a speech at a conference, according to Reuters.
“We must be prepared for this, and thus the State of Israel continues to devote itself to building up its military might for the event that it will have to respond to escalation scenarios,” he added.
However, Katz noted in a separate interview with Israel’s Army Radio earlier Tuesday that he thought Washington’s economic pressure on Tehran could prevent a physical clash.

The Israeli's do not put anyone's defense needs above their own. While we like to think that Israel will "keep us in the loop" and rely on our tutelage and advice, the fact of the matter is that the moment Achmed the engineer picks up the phone to the Ayatollah and says "hey y'all I got it to work," the IDF will take out the factory.
To add flavor to the soup, Iran is a different Islam from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain and in effect, basically all the "money arabs." So those nations are under no illusions that its not just Israel to have fear of a nuclear armed Iran.
