Emblem of Israel
Nobody would be pleased more than Saudi Arabia, if Israel got it on with Iran. First of all, they would have to give air clearance to Israel to fly over their territory. There might be an Arab Spring, but it isn't going to happen in Saudi Arabia. All hell would break loose if the Saudi oil fields went down. Iraq used to counter balance the Iranians, but Bush blew that one. Iran is getting to be the leader of the Arab world, and they really are not Arabs, they are remnant Persians, and speak it. Saudis loath Iranians, and with the bomb, they could really be the Big Kid on the Block.
Iranians would like to see their former glory, civilization got a major boost from what used to be Persia. With a radical theocracy, they believe that they can do it, again. The only trouble is, nobody wants them to be a Big Boy again, just too inconvenient. Europe does not want them, the Saudis do not want them, the Chinese just want oil, the Russians could really care less--they really don't "need" anybody or any friends (with one sixth the world's land mass and unlimited resources.)
All the middle east countries whine about Israel, and Israel is about as big as New Jersey, and is mostly a rock pile. Christianity was started in Israel, and the US would defend it, as it has, and will. The Arabs and Iran really don't have any argument that is worth a crap, about a piece of ground that would never be missed if it fell into the sea during a rain storm. They (Arabs/Iran) actually would not even want the Palestinians, if they had no place to go, anymore than you would want your poor relatives moving into your garage.
