Iran nuclear deal referral to Congress
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has referred the nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia to Congress, allowing the latter to enrich uranium on its soil. The agreement will remain in effect for 90 days unless Congress Republicans oppose it, according to American nuclear energy law. Although the agreement does not require Saudi Arabia to join the "Abraham Accords" normalization initiative with Israel, the White House has indicated that its implementation is tied to that condition. The deal includes mechanisms that permit Saudi Arabia to enrich uranium, with extensive confidentiality around the full text, and is subject to oversight guarantees by the International Atomic Energy Agency. It is also expected that the implementation process could take years. The main obstacle lies in the uncertainty over the American administration's commitment to enforce it if Saudi Arabia refuses to normalize relations with Israel, as the step is considered strategically significant with substantial security and economic sensitivities.
