Berlin: The Saudi Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Adel Al-Jubeir, said that his country reserves the right to arm itself with nuclear weapons if Iran cannot be prevented from making those weapons.
“It is definitely an option,” Al-Jubeir added in an interview with the German news agency (DPA), indicating that if Iran becomes a nuclear power, more countries will follow suit. “Saudi Arabia has made clear that it will do its utmost to protect its people and protect its lands,” he said.
Iran has been using nuclear energy for decades, and in 2015 it signed a nuclear agreement with world powers to stop developing a nuclear bomb in exchange for the lifting of sanctions.
But US President Donald Trump pulled his country out of the deal and brought it to the brink of failure. His administration wants a long-term program and an end to Iran’s regional interference, a position that Saudi Arabia supports.
“We believe that the Iranians only responded to the pressure,” Al-Jubeir said. And about the changes that may come during the era of US President-elect Joe Biden, he said: “We must see.”
