US intelligence says Saudi Arabia's nuclear weapons option remains open
Original: ‘Nuclear weapons’ option still open for Saudi Arabia, US intel says; senators target Trump deal
US intelligence officials have assessed that Saudi Arabia still retains the option to pursue nuclear weapons, even as the kingdom weighs an agreement with the United States. At the same time, US senators are moving against a nuclear cooperation deal tied to the Trump administration, arguing it could pave the way for Riyadh to develop an atomic arsenal. Critics warn any pact must include binding limits on uranium enrichment.
Why now: Senators are challenging a US-Saudi nuclear deal while intelligence assessments suggest the kingdom could still pursue atomic weapons.
