Did a U.S. intelligence assessment say Saudi Arabia has not ruled out developing nuclear weapons in September 2026?

Yes. On September 25, 2026, The Washington Post reported that classified U.S. intelligence documents provided to Congress assess that Saudi Arabia has not ruled out developing a nuclear weapons program. The assessment accompanied review of a U.S.–Saudi civil nuclear cooperation agreement that includes a conditional path to domestic uranium enrichment. The State Department told the Post that the United States “does not and will not support a Saudi nuclear weapon program.”
