Saudi Arabia to Build First Nuclear Research Reactor
STEPANAKERT, NOVEMBER 5, ARTSAKHPRESS: In March, MBS announced his country's readiness to develop nuclear weapons in the event that Iran heads in that direction, Al-Jazeera reports.
"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," he told US broadcaster, CBS, in an interview.
Incidentally, the US, which withdrew from a landmark nuclear deal with Iran signed in 2015, reimposed oil and financial sanctions against Iran starting Monday.
