The US and Saudi Arabia have signed a civilian nuclear cooperation agreement under Section 123 of the Atomic Energy Act, with media reports suggesting it may permit Saudi domestic uranium enrichment. The deal faces potential congressional opposition and arrives amid ongoing US-Israel military operations against Iran's nuclear programme.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

If Saudi Arabia now enriches uranium domestically, every US nuclear technology company with Middle East contracts just faced a new competitor in the region—and Congress will decide within months whether this market stays closed or opens. That congressional review is your window to shape the export rules that follow.
