It’s no secret that Saudi Arabia was heavily involved in the Pakistan development of nuclear weapons.  The BBC and Jane’s Defense document Saudi long voiced position that they will obtain nuclear weapons if Iran does and Saudi Arabia purchased long range missiles in the late 80’s.  These missile sites are arrayed at Iran and Israel.  Saudi wealth guarantees they will have no problem buying nukes.  They may have purchased them already.  The only questions are have they purchased them already?  Will they be manned by Pakistani or Saudi soldiers and when could/would they be deployed to Saudi Arabia? 

Stated Saudi nuclear proliferation policy has not occupied a lot of space in the discussion over the recent discussion over the West’s negotiations with Iran over their nuke program.  It probably should.
