The IAEA sent a team to Saudi Arabia in July last year to review the development of its nuclear power infrastructure. That mission concluded that the Kingdom is "well placed to finalize its plans for construction of its first nuclear power plant" through partnerships with countries that have nuclear power industries. That's now manifested itself in critical scrutiny of the Saudi nuclear program -- and especially whether the Trump Administration is doing enough to ensure non-proliferation. Iran claims that the Trump Administration plans to sell Saudi Arabia nuclear technology without sufficient safeguards. "First a dismembered journalist; now illicit sale of nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia fully expose #USHypocrisy," Foreign Minister Javad Zarif tweeted in February.
