The Saudi Ambassador to the United States has gone on record to say that he would not rule out the possibility of Saudis creating their own nuclear bomb to counterbalance a nuclear-armed Iran in the Middle East region.
Ambassador Adel Al-Jubeir said that Saudi Arabia would never negotiate over two things, namely, faith and security. He added that the kingdom will take whatever measures are necessary in order to protect its security, reported the CNN.
Al Jubeir revealed that the details disclosed by the Obama administration to the Saudis about the ongoing nuclear talks with Iran were "positive" but went on to add that the nation will make a judgment only after all the details have been revealed.
The Saudi ambassador also voiced concerns raised by other countries in the region about Iran's nuclear ambitions. He however, added that the U.S. had assured them that "all paths leading to a nuclear weapon by Iran will be cut off" and there will be "very intrusive" inspections that will prevent such an outcome.
