BOMBSHELL: Saudi Arabia could get nukes before Iran

[warrenswil]

In a stunning development that could change the balance of terror in the Middle East – and the world – it was reported last week that Saudi Arabia might be able to get atomic weapons before Iran.
The BBC report has been all but ignored in the U.S., but coming on the eve of the now failed Geneva negotiations over Iran’s weapons program, it is of great significance.

The accuracy of the report was not denied by the Saudis, but the timing was also seen as a ploy to influence and deflect the warming of relations between the U.S. and Iran, which is also bitterly opposed by Israel.
If it turns out to be true, it has profound global implications.
The video of the show is blocked in the US, but a great deal of in-depth reporting behind the broadcast can be found at Saudi nuclear weapons 'on order' from Pakistan which carries byline of the BBC’s Diplomatic and Defense Editor Mark Urban.
A Saudi Arabia with immediate access to atomic weapons would enormously complicate the delicate balance of terror in the Middle East and the world. It is a game changer, and deserves far more attention.

1. Last I heard, Iran was *not* building a nuclear weapons program.

So, the whole argument is a red herring.
