Saudi Arabia to grant IAEA expanded nuclear inspections, stopping short of full protocol
x/united-states-of-america
— 7h
The IAEA is poised to gain enhanced verification and monitoring over Saudi Arabia’s sensitive nuclear activities as part of the US-Saudi civil nuclear cooperation, though Riyadh will not sign the Additional Protocol. The proposed measures would cover uranium conversion, enrichment, and reprocessing and are intended to be very close to, but not equal to, the Additional Protocol, drawing praise for strengthening safeguards while drawing criticism from non-proliferation groups.

The Trump administration is weighing a civil nuclear accord with Saudi Arabia that could permit limited domestic uranium enrichment and possibly reprocessing without the IAEA’s Additional Protocol, with the draft awaiting President Trump’s signature despite talks ending in October 2025. Delays are attributed to the war with Iran and concerns in Congress about bipartisan opposition, as experts warn the deal could heighten proliferation risk without stronger bilateral safeguards.
