Basing locations. Geographical limitations are a reality. If you cannot launch attacks from close by your options will be much more limited. If only a few of the Gulf state comprador regimes remain available to them in that region, that significantly reduces their tactical flexibility and shrinks the area to disperse/hide their assets over.

Taking Saudi Arabia out of the equation is a net advantage for Iran. There are still plenty of targets in the region without them.

And if they were to not allowing usage of airspace to attack Iran with a country, that also limits the ways the US can approach from more distant bases, potentially increasing flight lengths.

Although unless such a deal includes no radars can be active in SA during conflict it might just be a way for the empire to gain some of its vision against ballistic missiles again.
