From 2013, we have read headlines from the BBC that say “Saudi nuclear weapons ‘on order’ from Pakistan” and a couple days ago we read the same type of headlines that say “Saudi Arabia has taken the strategic decision to acquire off-the-shelf atomic weapons from Pakistan”.
So for a couple of years, this off the shelf nuke must still be sitting on the shelf. So how can anyone trust either the BBC or the Sunday Times? The latest reports say that the world is “risking a new arms race in the Middle East, according to senior American officials.” And who are these unnamed “U.S. senior American officials”? They use plural “officials” none of whom dare to expose their names, why? Then they tell us that the report by the Sunday Times quotes an “anonymous US defense official”. It is “one official”.
I am always uncomfortable when I read any report that says “sources say,” no matter how prominent a news agency is for it has been proven that they all lie through their teeth.
So the question is, will Saudi Arabia be able to acquire nukes from Pakistan? And which source can we trust the most when it comes to these nuke stories? There is one source that tells us the answers to these issues that has been trusted and was always correct (more on that later).
There has been a longstanding agreement in place with the Pakistanis over nuclear weapons and the House of Saud has now made the strategic decision to move forward. Also, it was Saudi Arabia that helped fund Pakistan’s nuclear programme, which began back in the 1970s. Pakistan tested its first nuclear device in 1998. The story of Pakistan’s relations with Saudi Arabia stems from when the current Prime Minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif was overthrown in a military coup and sent into exile in Saudi Arabia where he owes the Saudis much favor. In 1999, a year after Pakistan tested two nuclear weapons, then Saudi defense minister Prince Sultan visited the unsafeguarded uranium enrichment plant at Kahuta outside Islamabad — prompting a US diplomatic protest.
