The United States and Saudi Arabia signed a new civil nuclear cooperation agreement on July 22, 2026, paving the way for closer collaboration on Saudi Arabia's civilian nuclear energy program. The deal has drawn criticism because it appears to allow Saudi Arabia to pursue domestic uranium enrichment, a capability that the U.S. has traditionally sought to prevent in partner countries due to its potential weapons implications. Critics argue that the agreement contrasts sharply with Washington's long-standing opposition to Iran's uranium enrichment program, raising questions about the consistency of U.S. non-proliferation policy and its impact on regional stability.
