To understand why President Trump’s proposed nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia could be dangerous, let’s review America’s experience with Iran. The Islamic Revolutionary government took control, building a facility in Natanz to develop nuclear weapons clandestinely. The UAE agreed to import all its nuclear fuel rather than enriching it domestically, proving it had no intention of developing nuclear weapons. Israel has never confirmed or denied possessing nuclear weapons, adhering to a doctrine of nuclear ambiguity and declaring it will never be the first to introduce nuclear weapons in the Middle East. THE WORLD’S NUCLEAR CLUBEight nations have publicly declared that they possess nuclear weapons: the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, China, France, India, Pakistan, and North Korea.
