Nuclear program of Saudi Arabia : ウィキペディア英語版 | Nuclear program of Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia is not known to have a nuclear weapons program. From an official and public standpoint, Saudi Arabia has been an opponent of nuclear weapons in the Middle East, having signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and is a member of the coalition of countries demanding a Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone in the Middle East.〔(Parties to the NPT )〕〔Akaki Dvali. Center for Nonproliferation Studies (nti.org) (March 2004). ''(Will Saudi Arabia Acquire Nuclear Weapons? )''; Arnaud de Borchgrave. ''Washington Times'' (22 October 2003)〕 Studies of nuclear proliferation have not identified Saudi Arabia as a country of concern.〔Office of Technology Assessment (OTA), US Congress, ''Technologies Underlying Weapons of Mass Destruction'' (Washington, DC: US Government Printing Office, 12/93), p. 239〕 However, over the years there have been media reports of Saudi Arabia's intent to purchase a nuclear weapon from an outside source. In 2003, a leaked strategy paper laid out three possible options for the Saudi government: to acquire a nuclear deterrent, to ally with and become protected by an existing nuclear nation, or to try to reach agreement on having a nuclear-free Middle East. UN officials and weapon specialists have suggested this review was prompted by a distancing of relations with the US, concerns over Iran's nuclear program, and the lack of international pressure on Israel to give up its nuclear weapons.〔''The Guardian'' (18 September 2003). ''(Saudis consider nuclear bomb )''〕 ==Nuclear program== Saudi Arabia has denied manufacturing nuclear weapons under its peaceful civilian nuclear program. Saudi Arabia has allegedly funded a military nuclear program and received scientific assistance from various countries, including the United States and Pakistan. According to Western media reports, Saudi Arabia also provided funds for nuclear programs in the Arab world and was behind providing financial assistance to enable physics experiments necessary for developing nuclear weapons.
