The deal is expected to last 30 years and is also expected to involve U.S. firms in developing the program. The deal could allow for the building of a uranium enrichment facility in Saudi Arabia following a joint U.S.-Saudi study.

But the agreement is not expected to include the IAEA’s Additional Protocol, which would allow for more monitoring, inspections and verification, according to one of the people.

saudis will get bomb before iran lmayo

    30 years? That’s a lot of unpredictable administrations away, lol

    How many of you wanna guess in fifteen years the government claims Saudi Arabia is trying to build nukes and invades?

    This is hilarious; we’re invading Saudi Arabia within twenty years, tops; oh God, no one ever learns.

      why would anyone invade saudis? would usa invade pisrael because they have nukes? they did learn that counterinsurgency works very well if you have government on your side

      *like napkin math (10 mb per day at 60-20 profit is 400 million dollars per day, or around 140 billion in profits from oil per year, their defense budget is 80 billion, and that’s not touching various shenanigans to finance failsons, they literally can’t waste any more money at their master’s house, or the difference is super marginal)

        Habibi, the US just set fire to their soft power and lit up the entire middle east by sticking their dick in Iran’s beehive.

        We’re at the end stage of empire, I am absolutely shocked Saudi’s sovereignty has been completely untouched. Their army is literally 2 Indians and a Pakistani child, what is the hold up here?

          their local enemies are like bedouins against pipelines, they are fine with hiring 500 cracked colombians to massacre houthis and sending 20% of government spending to usa.

          the purpose of softpower is to make people aspire to be your vassal, middle east got that on fucking lock (aside from shias, not that i think it’s got a lot to do with religious sect (see azerbaijan), but rather iran/saudi influence prevalence).

        why would anyone invade saudis?

        Oil and to destabilize the region

        would usa invade pisrael because they have nukes?

        Iran neither has nor wanted nukes, and Trump knew this and still chose to try and beat Iran; we wouldn’t invade Saudi Arabia because we think they’re trying to build nukes, but that’s the story we’d run with

          saudis sell oil to buy usa debt, finance latest fads and ngo complexes for journos and academics, and tactically deploying religious doctrines to the enemies of usa. in what way that could possibly be improved?

        The Saudis are still aligned with Turkey and therefore on the future shitlist of Israhell.

        Vassals that grow too big need to be cut down.

    I think it shows that the Saudi Snakes are clearly in the US-Israeli-Epstein camp. There is a pic of MBS with his arms around Jeffrey Epstein with a big smile. Saudi Arabia also sent Epstein a piece of the Kaaba cloth.
