Moniz Quoted in New York Times on Saudi Nuclear Agreement


In The New York Times, W.J. Hennigan calls for lawmakers to strike down the Trump administration’s proposed nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia. Hennigan argues that if Iran’s path to a nuclear bomb is not entirely cut off, Saudi Arabia will pursue their own such weapon. Moniz is quoted referencing Iran’s existing half-ton stockpile of enriched, but not weapons-grade uranium: “it’s a fallacy to think that you need weapons-grade material to make a bomb.”
