Never Mind Iran, Is Saudi Arabia About To Acquire A Nuclear Bomb? -- Michael Burleigh, Daily Mail

Both Saudi Arabia and the Gulf Cooperation Council maintain that they want a WMD-free Middle East. However, key members of the Saudi royal elite have recently signalled that if Iran develops a nuclear weapon, then Saudi Arabia will get one too.

Speaking of signalling, they have also long indicated that if Israel were to overfly the desert kingdom to bomb Iranian nuclear sites, they would temporarily turn their radars off.

Saudi Arabia has signed nuclear technology agreements with several states: China, France, Argentina and South Korea, in order to address its need for research reactors, nuclear power plants and so forth.

My Comment: As the above 'Previous Posts' indicate, Saudi Arabia has made their intentions very clear in the event that Iran's nuclear weapons program becomes viable. So in the event that Iran does successfully develop a bomb .... will Saudi Arabia actually commit themselves to a nuclear weapons program .... hmmmm .... considering who they are, I would take their word seriously.
