US intelligence flags Saudi Arabia's nuclear weapons option
Original: US intel flags Saudi nuclear weapons option
US intelligence assessments indicate Saudi Arabia is weighing the pursuit of nuclear weapons as regional tensions and questions over American security commitments persist. The finding has drawn attention to Riyadh's longstanding stance that it may seek a bomb if regional rival Iran acquires one, complicating US efforts to negotiate a civil nuclear cooperation and normalisation deal with the kingdom.
Why now: Concerns over nuclear proliferation in the Middle East and the future of US-Saudi relations
