U.S. Eyes Nuclear Deal with Saudi Arabia | Raleigh News

The Trump administration is pushing a bold, controversial deal with Saudi Arabia that could grant them uranium enrichment capabilities — a move experts warn could dangerously open the door to nuclear weapons, even if officials claim it won’t lead to proliferation. While Secretary Rubio insists the agreement won’t increase proliferation risks, reports suggest it may bypass strict IAEA monitoring. This comes amid U.S.-Israel efforts to contain Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and as Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has previously hinted at pursuing nuclear weapons if Iran does. Past administrations have also pursued similar deals, but none have matched the UAE’s model — which secured a U.S. nuclear partnership without enrichment. Experts are sounding alarms, calling this a “revolutionary” and potentially reckless step that could destabilize the region.
