  1. SS: Saudi Arabia’s plans for a domestic nuclear energy industry will come to a result where it becomes an exporter of enriched uranium fuel.

    > “We will enrich it and we will sell it and we will do a ‘yellowcake.'”

    While at the present time this is purely about diversifying the Kingdom’s sources of energy production away from petroleum, the most recent announcement by the energy minister comes after the Saudi Crown Prince made previous assertions back in 2018 that the KSA would procure nuclear weapons if its regional rival Iran, did so.

  2. And perhaps use some of it to enrich even further to put in their own bomb. Now that Iran will have one, so will Saudi Arabia.
