Pakistan, Iran and the 'Saudi Bomb'


WPR/ here
"One circle I've yet to see squared is why Pakistan would share its nuclear technology -- both uranium enrichment and weaponization -- with Iran, when that technology is widely believed to have been financed, in part, by the Saudis? Indeed, rumors of an already done Pakistan-Saudi deal for the purchase of warheads in the event Iran achieves nuclear weapon status are so widespread that the Pakistani capacity is often referred to as the "Saudi bomb."

Well, at least the Saudis already have the ballistic missiles needed to fire those nukes.

Iran is still working on its own.

Interesting idea I would also imagine Pakistan would be reluctant to share nuclear technology it a country it borders.
