Lost in the mix today, but a very important story. Especially considering the possibility of a coming war with Iran.



Saudi Arabia has warned that it will develop its own nuclear weapon if regional rival Iran acquires one.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told US network CBS News his country did not want to acquire nuclear weapons.

"But without a doubt, if Iran developed a nuclear bomb, we would follow suit as soon as possible," he added.

Iran limited its nuclear programme under a 2015 deal with several world powers - but US President Donald Trump has threatened to withdraw from it.

Saudi Arabia and Iran have long been rivals in the Middle East. Each is dominated by different branches of Islam - Sunni for Saudi Arabia, Shia for Iran - and they have historically supported opposing powers in regional conflicts.

In recent years, tensions have escalated over the wars in Syria and Yemen.

Not even Saudi believes obama
 
Lol. They wouldn’t have to develop one. US would just sell them a dozen and ask them politely to behave
 
Build bombs with what? Cammel dung?
 
Yeah, with all those great Saudi scientists there highly successful education system has produced(e-sarcasm).

They could probably get some at any time they wish via Pakistan since they helped/funded their program

Saudi elites actually send their children to places like Yale, Harvard, Oxford, etc.

Lots go to other less prestigious American schools as well.

Yeah, you just exposed how little you know about history. The decline of the Middle East didn't start until around the 1300s and, even after that, the region underwent a revival until the West undermined liberal reforms.

Even one thousand years ago, the Middle East was just as advanced as Europe.

And, within the last century, the Middle East's major cities of Kabul, Tehran, and Baghdad were more advanced than anywhere other than the metropolises of the United States.
 
Lol you guys are off your gourds

The Sauds didn't say this until it became clear Trump wants to pull out of the agreement freeing Iran up to ramp up their nuclear weapons program
 
you dont understand, its a cunning plan to combat climate change, when the sandy countries turn to glass in a nuclear blast, it will reflect the suns heat, therefore cooling down the atmosphere.<seedat>

And yet they're still incompetent and show little to no signs of industriousness or innovation and the country still relies primarily on foreign workers for its high skilled jobs.
