US and Saudi Arabia Sign Civil Nuclear Deal Allowing Uranium Enrichment Study
Times of India·Thursday, 23 July 2026
The United States and Saudi Arabia signed a civil nuclear cooperation agreement that includes a joint study on uranium enrichment facilities. US officials said the deal meets safety and non-proliferation standards, but it still needs to go before Congress, where it could face opposition. The deal was signed while US military operations against Iran are ongoing.
