Saudi Arabia to Build First Nuclear Research Reactor

Михаила Метцеля / ТАСС

Saudi Arabia's crown prince has launched a project to build the first nuclear research reactor in the kingdom, the Saudi Press Agency reported.

In March, MBS announced his country's readiness to develop nuclear weapons in the event that Iran heads in that direction, Al-Jazeera reports.

"Saudi Arabia does not want to acquire any nuclear bomb, but without a doubt, if Iran developed a nuclear bomb, we will follow suit as soon as possible," he told US broadcaster, CBS, in an interview.

Incidentally, the US, which withdrew from a landmark nuclear deal with Iran signed in 2015, reimposed oil and financial sanctions against Iran starting Monday.
