    If the Saudis tried enriching would you justify blowing them to hell and back too? After all nobody but them would want them to have nukes

      Yep. Other countries would attack Saudi Arabia if they enriched Uranium past reactor-grade. As you said, other countries don’t want Saudi Arabia having nukes.

      Edit: Hell, even enriching just up to reactor-grade might be enough, as other countries would suspect they are going further. It’s one of the reasons many countries with reactors buy their Uranium from others and submit to regular checks. They don’t want any doubt about what the fuel is for.
