Saudi Arabia orders 10,000 US bombs after nuclear deal with Washington

The U.S. State Department has approved a potential $5 billion sale of over 10,000 Joint Direct Attack Munition kits to Saudi Arabia. Notified to Congress on September 4, this transaction represents one of the largest munitions packages cleared for a foreign buyer in recent years. This arms deal follows a nuclear agreement with Washington, though it underscores escalating regional tensions that may complicate US-Iran diplomacy and potentially destabilize the broader geopolitics of the Middle East.
