I find this hard to believe.

Assuming it is true, how badly did Iran FAFO to get the Saudis to join Israel in a fight?

I guess they got pretty pissed off over being humiliated in Yemen by the Houthis.

Its not hard to believe

They want safe oil sales and Iran keeps the pressure on by lobbing missiles at their oil livelihood and trying to shut down chokepoint.

Saudi Arabia and Iran were just in a VERY long proxy war in Yemen.

They hate each other

Exactly. Sunni's and Shia's just do not see eye to eye.

Unprecedented times and why people need to calm down with the WW3 and Americans are going to die worse than Iraq rhetoric (none of them served).

I doubt Saudi Arabia and UAE see eye to eye with Israel on a lot of things. However, Iran, under its current leadership, is "bad for business." it's kind of like the mafia. One family may hate another family. But if a third family is messing up the business for everyone, they'll form a brief alliance for a specific purpose. To knock off the head of the troublemaker.

The Soviets actually created this partnership back in 1980. Iran is just making it palatable for it to be a public one.
