#1 The same notion occurred to me. The Arabs have known or at least suspected for a very long time that Israel has nukes. They also know (or suspect) that Israel won't resort to the Sampson Option unless Israel is facing extinction. Knowing this they (the Arabs) did not build nukes.
(Did they buy a nuke? I don't know but I doubt it if someone thought the nuke could be traced to it's country of origin).

Only thing that is different now is that Iran is building a nuke(s). Now the Arabs want there own.

Does this sudden Arab interest in nukes tell us anything about how close the Persians are to having their own nukes? Does the sudden interest tell us anything about what the Arabs think the Persian intent is for Iranian nukes?

There is a story on RB today where we learn the intel experts in the USA use (if not rely on) google. I'm of the opinion (but can't prove) that the Arabs have better intel inside Iran than does the USA or any Western power. What does the House of Saud know that the USA does not?

What does this sudden Arab need for nuclear power tell us about Iran? The lack of Arab interst in having their own nukes when they knew Israel had them says one thing. The Arab need for nukes now that Persia is building 'em tells us something else.

#4 Note the discussion of Po 210 in that previous video.
Iran trying to produce it for an a bomb initiation in particular. Does this tie into the London 210 stuff?

#5 Muslim/Islamic govts know world Islam is in dire need of reform + modernization, and they also must be aware that Radical Iran wants to be the SOLE SOURCE, REGIONAL = GLOBAL, of pan-Islamic thought and power. Iff Radical Iran devs nukes, ISTANBUL, CAIRO, + MECCA, ETC. KNOW THEY"LL BE SO MUCH FUTURE GLOWING DEADMEAT AS ISLAMIC CENTRES OF INFLUENCE. They also know any surreal ISRAEL = USA's destruction DOES NOT MEAN ANYONE IS SAFE. POL PRAGMATISM/REALISM > means an ARMS RACE, BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.
