London: Saudi Arabia has warned that it will seekĀ nuclear weapons if Iran succeeds to do so, a British newspaper quoted Saudi officials as saying.
“We cannot live in a situation where Iran has nuclear weapons and we don’t … If Iran develops a nuclear weapon, that will be unacceptable to us and we will have to follow suit,” the British newspaper quoted the official.
According Ā Ā to the newspaper Saudi Arabia has warned NATO that it would pursue policies that could lead to “untold and possibly dramatic consequences” if Iran obtains nuclear weapons.
The paper quoted Prince Turki al-Faisal, a former Saudi intelligence chief and ambassador to Washington and Britain, speaking to senior NATO officials earlier this month at an unpublicised meeting at a British air base.
Faisal did not outline what the policies would be, but the newspaper quoted an unnamed Saudi official in Riyadh it said was close to the prince as saying that Iranian nuclear weapons would compel the Gulf state do develop its own nuclear arms.
