As Washington and Tehran remain locked in an unresolved conflict over Iran's nuclear programme, US President Donald Trump has reportedly approved a landmark agreement granting Saudi Arabia uranium enrichment capability of its own, a decision critics say exposes one of the starkest double standards in recent US foreign policy.
Rosemary Kelanic, head of the Middle East programme at the Washington-based think tank Defense Priorities, was among the most outspoken critics of the deal. Writing on social media, she branded the decision 'especially idiotic' to pursue in the middle of a war rooted in Iran's nuclear programme, warning that it could carry serious consequences.
