Saudi Arabia crown prince says will develop nuclear bomb if Iran does

[PakAlp]

TBH, I'm worried that tensions and conflicts are stronger between the Gulf states and Iran than against Israel. Just pick any news item on the middle east and you see KSA and Iran threatening each other more often than to Israel. That's really unfortunate. Israel's nuke threat will be neutralised from some where else.

I agree but the question on my mind is why would 2 Muslim nations be greater enemies with each other than Israel who occupies Islamic holy lands and terrorises Arabs and Arab nations. I believe either Iran is a traitor or the Gulf Arab nations or they all being played for a fool.

There is a long history, and both sides have extreme views. It has to do with their history, racism, narcissism, politics and to some extent sectarian affiliations. Both look down upon each other and Gulf states are directly controlled by the great satan.

The rulers of Saudi Arabia were recently compelled to flame the war against Iran, in order to avoid their people's attention from the Arab Spring. That is why we see such increased tensions since Arab spring which never happened in the past, even at that time when Iran was in direct war against the Arab Country of Iraq.

It is not only flaming war against Iran, but also at the same time Saudi rulers are compelled to become "More Soft" to US and Israel.

HIGHLIGHTS

• The world’s top oil exporter has previously said it wants nuclear technology only for peaceful uses.
• The United States, South Korea, Russia, France and China are bidding on a multi-billion dollar tender to build Saudi Arabia’s first two nuclear reactors.
• The government approved a national policy for its atomic energy program on Tuesday.

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia will develop a nuclear bomb if its arch-rival Iran does so, the kingdom’s 32-year-old crown prince said in a preview of a television interview released on Thursday.
“Saudi Arabia does not want to acquire any nuclear bomb, but without a doubt if Iran developed a nuclear bomb, we will follow suit as soon as possible,” Prince Mohammed bin Salman told CBS in an interview that will air on Sunday.

The kingdom, locked in a tussle for influence with Iran across the Middle East and beyond, is stepping up plans to develop a nuclear energy capability as part of a reform plan led by Prince Mohammed to reduce the economy’s dependence on oil.
The United States, South Korea, Russia, France and China are bidding on a multi-billion dollar tender to build Saudi Arabia’s first two nuclear reactors.

The world’s top oil exporter has previously said it wants nuclear technology only for peaceful uses but has left unclear whether it also wants to enrich uranium to produce nuclear fuel, a process which can also be used in the production of atomic weapons.
The government approved a national policy for its atomic energy program on Tuesday, including limiting all nuclear activities to peaceful purposes, within the limits defined by international treaties.

Reactors need uranium enriched to around five percent purity but the same technology in this process can also be used to enrich the heavy metal to a higher, weapons-grade level. This has been at the heart of Western and regional concerns over the nuclear work of Iran, Saudi Arabia’s arch-rival which enriches uranium domestically.

Good we must trigger nuclear race in MENA region and surround Europeans with nuclear bombs.
Europeans must know that their neighbors in Middle east and North Africa will build their bombs if Iran exit the deal.

Ok but if Israel has nuclear arsenal then shouldn't Saudi and Uae make their own because Israel is occupying Arab land. Iran is not occupying any Arab lands.

What about Turkey, Egypt, Algeria, and Morocco. all deserve to have their own bombs.

if it provide them security from foreign invasion why wait for Iran to build, just start a war of words with Israel and say we feel threatened by Israel and start building nukes.

When was the last time KSA spoke against Israel bro...can you show any statement against the Israel by KSA. Both are controlled by the same master, in fact, both are zionists to varying degrees.
