#5 So the Saoodis are really buying a nuke?

It'd be a quick way to get your hands on one. Who wants to be the only one without in nuclear ME?

Or at least the threat of possessing one, to deter Iranian aggression?

As Alinsky said, it's not what you have necessarily, but what the enemy *thinks* you have (or maybe it was Sun Tzu talking about deception). The point being that if you live in a rough neighborhood, you have an interest in appearing to be a badder mofo than you really are. Saddam ran the same game to enhance his WMDs. Which we know he had. Don't even start!
