US Announces Nuclear Deal with Saudi Arabia, Trump Adds Israel Clause
The United States announced a civilian nuclear cooperation deal with Saudi Arabia on Wednesday, with Energy Secretary Chris Wright signing the pact alongside Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman. US President Donald Trump later stated that no nuclear deal would be finalized unless Saudi Arabia joined the Abraham Accords, which include Israel recognition. This condition was added as a clause to the Saudi Arabian nuclear pact. Meanwhile, Iran claimed to have intercepted six ships in the Strait of Hormuz, and The Wire reported on day 150 of the US-Israel war against Iran, noting Trump's statement about 'friendly talks' with Iran.
