According to a report submitted to the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Saudi Arabia most likely would develop nuclear weapons if Iran acquires them.

The report has been prepared by a member of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee after interviewing hundreds of individuals in Washington and the Middle East.

The report says Turkey will come under pressure to follow suit if Iraq builds nuclear weapons in the next decade.

The report says that while Turkey and Iran do not see themselves as adversaries, Turkey believes the current power balance between them is the primary reason for a peaceful relationship.
