The agreement requires Saudi Arabia to join the Abraham Accords and prohibits uranium enrichment for non-military use.
The United States will approve a civil nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia, contingent on Riyadh joining the Abraham Accords. The agreement explicitly bars uranium enrichment, limiting its scope to non-military applications such as power generation, similar to existing deals with Iran and the UAE.
The deal aligns with US policy supporting non-enriched nuclear facilities for civilian use. Saudi Arabia’s participation in the Abraham Accords, a normalization framework with Israel, is a key condition for final approval. No timeline for completion was provided.
