Saudi Arabia will develop its own nuclear arsenal if Iran restarts its efforts to build nukes, Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said Wednesday, AFP reported.

Asked whether Riyadh would “build a bomb itself” if Tehran seized on President Trump’s withdrawal from the 2015 Iran deal to resume a nuclear weapons program, Jubeir said, “If Iran acquires nuclear capability we will do everything we can to do the same.”

Oil-rich Saudi Arabia has long said it would match any Iranian weapons development, but Jubeir’s renewed vow came after Trump pulled the US out of an accord designed to prevent Tehran’s alleged quest for the bomb, the news agency said.
