Forming the Line

Saudi Arabia is getting the ranks in line for possible confrontation with Iran:

The Gulf Cooperation Council said it will form a unified military command structure at a time when Iran poses a “very serious” security threat to the Middle East.

The six-member group will coordinate air, land, and marine forces under one structure, Bahrain’s Foreign Minister Sheikh Khalid Bin Ahmed Al-Khalifa said today in a press conference after a meeting of GCC heads of state in Manama, the Bahraini capital. Iran’s nuclear program is a security threat to the region, he said.

No doubt, the Saudis will dominate the structure. It's best to have this in place before the shooting starts.
