Is Saudi Arabia seeking nuclear weapons from Pakistan? - CNN.com

(CNN)—A Saudi defense official on Tuesday dismissed as "speculation" a media report that Saudi Arabia is seeking to acquire nuclear weapons from Pakistan amid growing fears of a nuclear-armed Iran.

The Sunday Times of London reported that the Saudis had "taken the 'strategic decision' to acquire 'off-the-shelf' atomic weapons from Pakistan," citing unnamed senior American officials.

Contacted about the report by CNN, a Saudi Defense Ministry official said: "I don't understand what the story is. This has been in the news for 18 years and will continue to be for the next 15 years."

The official added, "The ministry does not comment on rumors and speculation."

A U.S. State Department official noted Tuesday that Saudi Arabia is a signatory of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.



"It has committed never to acquire nuclear weapons, and to apply full international safeguards to all peaceful nuclear activities," the official said. "We attach great importance to Saudi Arabia's continued implementation of these commitments."

The Sunday Times reported the move by the Saudis -- said by the newspaper to have been bankrolling much of the Pakistani nuclear program for three decades -- comes amid concern among Sunni Arab nations over a framework deal on Iran's nuclear program that aims to limit Tehran's nuclear program in exchange for lifting economic sanctions.

The framework deal was hammered out by world powers and Tehran in talks that ended in early April. The parties have until the end to June to work out the details and finalize the plan.

The Obama administration has stressed that if a final deal is reached with Iran, the removal of any sanctions will come in phases. President Barack Obama has backed the deal but faces an uphill battle selling it to a skeptical Congress.

Although the discussions involve the so-called P5+1 -- the United States, Russia, China, France, Germany and Britain -- U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif did much of the hard negotiating on the outline deal.

"We have consulted throughout the recent negotiations with our allies and partners around the world, including Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf countries, and will continue to do so as we move into the final weeks and months of these talks," the State Department official said Tuesday.

Besides the concern from Sunni nations that the agreement might allow Shiite powerhouse Iran to develop nuclear weapons, the deal has been met with fierce opposition from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Envoy: Saudi Arabia will take any steps for security


In a March interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, the Saudi ambassador to the United States would not rule out the possibility of the Saudis creating their own nuclear bomb to counterbalance a nuclear-armed Iran.

"This is not something we would discuss publicly," Ambassador Adel Al-Jubeir said on "The Situation Room." Later, when pressed, he said, "This is not something that I can comment on, nor would I comment on."

He added, "But the kingdom of Saudi Arabia will take whatever measures are necessary in order to protect its security. There are two things over which we do not negotiate: our faith and our security."

Al-Jubeir said, however, the details disclosed by the Obama administration to the Saudis at that point about the developing nuclear deal with Iran were "positive."

Veramente con tutti i soldi a loro disposizione, non mi stupirei se una o due vecchie testate atomiche sovietiche avessero già trovato rifugio tra le sabbie del deserto di Rub' al-Khālī.
Quello che sicuramente manca loro è la tecnologia di lancio.

Negli '90 gli atomici erano una delle poche cose che venivano custoditi per bene.
Anche se, miracolosamente, sono riusciti a fregare una, chi le fa' la manutenzione? La radiazione danneggia i circuiti elettrici.

Non si decide tutto con i soldi.

L'atomica saudita in teoria esiste già ed è quella pakistana a cui i Saud contribuirono finanziariamente in modo decisivo

Non c'entra niente.
Qua si parla delle reppubbliche ex-sovietiche, ma gli atomici sono stati portati tutti in Russia. In cambio, la Russia si e' preso tutti i debbiti del'USSR.
