Saudi Arabia has invested in Pakistani nuclear weapons projects, and believes it could obtain atomic bombs at will.

This was reported by BBC Newsnight Wednesday.

A senior NATO decision-maker said he had seen intelligence reporting that nuclear weapons made in Pakistan on behalf of Saudi Arabia are now sitting ready for delivery.

Gary Samore, until March 2013 President Barack Obama’s counter-proliferation adviser, told Newsnight:

“I do think that the Saudis believe that they have some understanding with Pakistan that, in extremis, they would have claim to acquire nuclear weapons from Pakistan.” Simon Henderson of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy said:

“The Saudis speak about Iran and nuclear matters very seriously. They don’t bluff on this issue.”

My comment:

Iran will not be the first Islamic nation that will acquire a nuclear bomb. The Islamic republic of Pakistan has had the bomb since 1998. But since Pakistan in not a treat to other Muslim nations, the Pakistani bomb has not lead to an Islamic nuclear arms race.

The Sunny Muslims do not trust the Shia Muslims of Iran. This is the major reason for why there is a civil war today crippling the Muslim World. And the war is more than 1300 years old.  The Sunnis have Saudi Arabia as their major religious center.

If Iran trigger a nuclear bomb, surely Saudi Arabia will get one. And if Pakistan gives the Saudis the bomb, there will be a major nuclear arms race in the Middle East and Persia.

Jesus the Messiah warned us. There will be terrible times, at the end of the age of grace. So terrible, that it has never been worse since the creation of the Earth. So be ready for a bumpy ride, and pray for power and strength to endure till the end. Amen.
