Reuters: Saudi Arabia wants to have weapons for "safe" attacks on Iran

Saudi Arabia is expanding its ballistic missile production facilities to develop longer-range missiles with larger warheads, potentially enhancing its deterrence against Iran. Satellite images from Planet Labs show construction at the al-Duwadimi complex, indicating the establishment of new buildings for missile engine production. This expansion could lead to an arms race in the region and increase opposition in the U.S. Congress regarding nuclear cooperation with Saudi Arabia. Analysts suggest that Saudi Arabia may be preparing to produce missiles similar to China's DF-21, aiming to reduce Iran's military advantage.
