U.S. intelligence assesses that Saudi Arabia has not ruled out developing nuclear weapons, according to The Washington Post. The Times of Israel reported that Congress received intelligence concerning the possibility of a Saudi nuclear weapons program.

The assessment comes amid debate over a U.S.-Saudi nuclear cooperation agreement. Foreign Policy has warned that such an agreement carries proliferation risks, while Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy has argued that it would serve U.S. interests. Analyses from The National Interest and Lawfare have focused on potential changes to the agreement and safeguards intended to prevent uranium enrichment and verify Saudi compliance.
