The IAF holds about 10 joint  exercises with the US Air Force annually, half of them in Israel.Maj.  O., deputy commander of F-16 Desert Defenders Squadron based at the Nevatim Air Force Base in the Negev, said that his pilots had a lot to learn from their American counterparts who arrived with 16 F-16 fighter jets from Europe.The drill, he  said, simulated a war in which the Israeli and American fighter jets  were fighting against an unnamed enemy state.“Working with so  many planes is something that we do not get to do so often,” Maj. O.  explained. 'Saudis to allow airspace for Iran war'Saudi Arabia has reportedly launched a  series of military maneuvers aimed at allowing Israeli jets to use the  kingdom's airspace for an aerial attack on Iranian nuclear sites. US defense sources speaking on condition of anonymity told The  Times on Sunday that Israel has been given overflight clearance by  Saudi Arabia and is permitted to use northern Saudi airspace in the  event of military confrontation with Iran. To clear the way for Israeli bombers en route to Iran, Riyadh has  reportedly been conducting tests to practice keeping its own jets out of  harms way while ensuring that missile systems in the kingdom remain  completely deactivated. "The Saudis have given their permission for the Israelis to pass  over and they will look the other way," one US defense source said on  Saturday.  "They have already done tests to make sure their own jets aren't  scrambled and no one gets shot down. This has all been done with the  agreement of the [US] State Department," he added. Meanwhile, Arab sources reported that Saudi defense officials had  made arrangements with Israel in case it decided to carry out its  long-stalled military plans against Iran, stating that they both share a  mutual hatred for the Iranian government and its nuclear activities.  For years, Israel has threatened to bomb Iran's nuclear  installations. However, the likelihood of any such attack has  significantly increased due to Tel Aviv's growing impatience with  international sanctions, which have failed to change Tehran's stance on  its peaceful nuclear issue. </blockquote>
