Saudi Arabia refuses to rule out nuclear weapons

Original: Saudi Arabia has not ruled out nuclear weapons: report

Saudi Arabia has declined to rule out acquiring nuclear weapons, according to a new report picked up by outlets including The New Arab and Fox News. The kingdom has long hinted it could pursue nuclear capability if regional rival Iran obtains a bomb, and the latest comments add to concerns about proliferation in the Middle East as tensions over Iran's nuclear programme continue.

Why now: Concerns over Iran's nuclear programme make any Saudi ambiguity about nuclear weapons a pressing regional security story.
