And we all know that they have the big bucks to purchase them.
We also know (those of who understand the Iranian Shiite mindset) that Saudi nukes won’t deter those who insist on ushering in ”the mahdi” , for their end times scenario.

Saudi Arabia has reportedly held talks with Pakistan for the purchase of nuclear weapons amid the ongoing nuclear negotiations between world powers and Iran, according to a US senior official who spoke with The Sunday Times.
Tensions in the region have escalated in light of the framework agreement the United States and the other world powers have made with the Islamic Republic, with Saudi Arabia increasingly concerned with the repercussions of a deal that may see the easing of sanctions leaving Iran more legroom to continue developing weapons of mass destruction.
The strain in relations was evident when Saudi Arabia’s King Salman skipped a major summit in Washington this week, along with the leaders of three other Gulf nations.
“For the Saudis the moment has come,” The Sunday Times quoted a former US defense official as saying.
If only they could somehow constrain the fallout to be localised specifically to Saudi Araia and Iran/Iraq / Pakistan – it would be a win/win situation for the rest of the world.
