Saudi Arabia 'braces for nuclear war'
Source: Press Tv
Saudi
Arabia is reportedly preparing to counter any 'radioactive hazards'
which may result from a US strike on Iran's nuclear plants. Popular government-guided Saudi newspaper Okaz
recently reported that the Saudi Shura Council approved of nuclear
fallout preparation plans only a day after US Vice President Dick
Cheney met with the Kingdom's high ranking officials, including King
Abdullah.
As a result of the Shura ruling, the Saudi government will start the implementation of 'national plans to deal with any sudden nuclear and radioactive hazards that may affect the Kingdom following expert warnings of possible attacks on Iran's Bushehr nuclear reactors'.
As the details of Cheney's recent discussions with his Arab allies remain unclear, pundits have begun to question the timing of the drastic measure by the Shura.
Analysts claim the Bush administration had long rattled sabers with Iran over its nuclear program and is now informing its Arab allies of a potential war, in turn, allowing them to take precautionary measures.
With the sudden resignation of Admiral William Fallon, a high-ranking US military official who was a fierce critic of White House war rhetoric against Iran, and reports of the recent deployment of a US nuclear submarine in the Persian Gulf; there is speculation that Washington is moving forward with yet another war plan in the oil-rich Middle East.
