The administration is claiming this as a win on multiple fronts:\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<span>\n            As a deal meeting the highest anti-proliferation standards.\n        <\/span>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<span>\n            As a huge boost for the US nuclear industry.\n        <\/span>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<span>\n            And as the reinforcement of ties with a vital ally.\n        <\/span>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Washington has been warming up to a civilian nuclear deal with the Saudis for at least a decade, although the Biden administration appeared likely to seek stricter conditions. And if the US didn\u2019t do the deal, competitors like China would have been happy to snap up the kingdom\u2019s business \u2014 thereby creating their own geopolitical staging post.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cOn President Trump\u2019s agenda, the Middle East has been commerce, not conflict,\u201d Energy Secretary Chris Wright told Fox Business on Wednesday.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But critics, including many in Israel, fear that agreement could eventually deliver the Saudis to the point where they could enrich higher-grade uranium for a nuclear bomb \u2014 and thereby set off a regional arms race. Riyadh says it won\u2019t seek a nuclear weapon if Iran doesn\u2019t. But any move in that direction might force nations like Egypt or Turkey to follow suit.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The US-Saudi deal was negotiated under a US law that allows the transfer of US nuclear technology while preventing the spread of nuclear weapons. The Energy Department said Wednesday it included a bilateral safeguards agreement. This appeared to confirm reports that Saudi Arabiamay not be required to sign up to the International Atomic Energy Agency\u2019s Additional Protocol, which would require more invasive monitoring and inspections. This could create a precedent for other powers to sidestep international restrictions as they pursue their own nuclear deals \u2014 perhaps with US adversaries \u2014 and fillet nuclear safeguards.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThe agreement itself was reckless and irresponsible, but the broader ramifications could be felt for years to come,\u201d said Kelsey Davenport, director for nonproliferation policy at the Arms Control Association.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            John Erath, senior policy director at the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation, said that any absence of IAEA standard protocols \u2014 which were included in a recent US civilian nuclear deal with the United Arab Emirates \u2014 would be \u201cpotentially a very big problem.\u201d He told CNN\u2019s Jim Sciutto that such standards were needed to ensure that \u201cSaudi Arabia was not engaging in enrichment activities that would lead to nuclear weapons capability.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n<strong>Saudi deal injects new uncertainty into region as Iran war rages <\/strong>\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            The timing of the deal is also incongruous: It coincides with Trump\u2019s latest escalation of the war on Iran, which he says is about preventing Tehran from getting a nuclear bomb. The administration hopes the deal could tilt the balance of power further towards the US by solidifying Saudi relations.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            However, by implying that US friends have the right to nuclear enrichment while enemies don\u2019t, the deal could impose intense pressure on international non-proliferation conventions and incentivize Iran to seek its own partners.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            And the task of negotiating a nuclear deal with Iran was treacherous already. The administration may have made it much harder by agreeing to a deal with the Saudis that reaches years into the future because Iran is sure to demand similar enrichment privileges.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The Saudi deal is far from the first time Trump has taken a risk in the Middle East without the capacity to understand how it plays out in the years to come.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=6975\">Watch an orca ram a sunfish so hard that the fish explodes<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            Often, his instinct to ditch existing conventions, to ignore international agreements and to take a disruptive course seems more like an end in itself.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            And the president also seems to take pride in doing exactly the opposite of those who came before him.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"An F\/A-18F Super Hornet prepares to launch from the flight deck of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in support of the Operation Epic Fury attack on Iran from an undisclosed location March 3.\" class=\"wp-image-6981\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2b7b01a908f3f9f7a665436aeb56f6fe.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2b7b01a908f3f9f7a665436aeb56f6fe.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2b7b01a908f3f9f7a665436aeb56f6fe-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>An F\/A-18F Super Hornet prepares to launch from the flight deck of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in support of the Operation Epic Fury attack on Iran from an undisclosed location March 3.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>US Navy\/Reuters\/File<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            Most modern presidents tried to avoid war with Iran; Trump tore up an international deal that capped its nuclear program, assassinated its national security chief Qasem Soleimani in his first term, bombed its nuclear sites last year and launched a full-scale war against the Islamic Republic in February.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Modern administrations concluded that the best way to keep Israel safe was to push for a two-state solution with the Palestinians; Trump gave the Israelis space to crush that aspiration with hardline policies in Gaza and the West Bank.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump this year pledged to remove the US designation of Syria as a major terrorist-supporting state first imposed in 1979, trusting in his friendship with the country\u2019s new president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, the leader of a former al Qaeda affiliate. Critics argued that Trump should have leveraged that designation change to force political, human rights and counter-terrorism reforms.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Trump has also broken the mold on Saudi Arabia. Presidents have often danced on diplomatic pinheads with the kingdom and other Gulf states, which are vital US allies but pursue repressive policies that offend democratic values. But Trump openly admires Arab strongmen and sees their rich and rising nations as a goldmine for commerce in which his family has considerable business interests.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n<strong>Why Trump\u2019s team seeks virtue in risk<\/strong>\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Trump\u2019s supporters correctly argue that decades of US policy in the Middle East failed to create stability. And they insist he\u2019s taking necessary steps that previous presidents failed to take. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told senators Tuesday that his boss should be praised for \u201chaving the courage to ensure that crazy Islamists can\u2019t have a nuclear weapon to hold us at issue.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But the perils of such an approach are obvious in Iran. The US struggle to exit a war Trump has declared won multiple times helps explains why his predecessors hesitated to dive headlong into a full-scale conflict.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Democratic critics accuse the president of disregarding political, historical and ideological factors that always suggested Iran would never bow to US pressure. Trump seems not to have asked critical questions about what would follow a US onslaught \u2014 including the likelihood that Tehran would seek to close the Strait of Hormuz.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The conflict reflects a recurring theme \u2014 plans made in Washington often break down on contact with the Middle East.\n    <\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium_large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"President Donald Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman walk as he arrives at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 13.\" class=\"wp-image-6982\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/27f565d74afae48b2cec9e0dc45404f3.jpg\" width=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/27f565d74afae48b2cec9e0dc45404f3.jpg 768w, https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/27f565d74afae48b2cec9e0dc45404f3-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<span>President Donald Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman walk as he arrives at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, May 13.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n<figcaption>Brian Snyder\/Reuters\/File<\/figcaption>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            While Trump and his Cabinet have strong relationships with Saudi Arabia\u2019s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Washington\u2019s ties with the kingdom may not always be as strong. There\u2019s no guarantee the country will not fall into the hands of more radical rulers in decades to come, in a region often destabilized by Islamic fundamentalists.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            This is especially a worry with nuclear programs in the mix. \u201cA US partner today is not necessarily a US partner tomorrow. So once the technology is transferred, the US cannot guarantee that it will retain control of that technology,\u201d Davenport said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But Trump often seems not to worry much about what happens after he\u2019s left office.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            One of the president\u2019s favorite phrases, \u201cWe\u2019ll see what happens,\u201d takes on an especially disquieting undertone in the context of the Middle East.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=6965\">Secret Service agent on Vance\u2019s detail suspected of leaking information is put on leave amid internal review<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Middle East\u2019s great American disruptor is rolling the dice again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6978,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6983","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
