Les États-Unis concluront-ils un accord 'Section 123' (coopération nucléaire civile) avec l'Arabie saoudite qui prévoit ou pourrait permettre l'enrichissement de l'uranium avant le 31 juillet 2026 ?

Pourquoi : The supplied evidence shows the U.S. and Saudi Arabia signed a Section 123 civilian nuclear cooperation agreement on July 22, 2026 (U.S. Energy Department press release). Multiple independent, credible outlets report that the agreement either provides for or could permit a path to domestic uranium enrichment in Saudi Arabia. The Wall Street Journal (July 22) describes a provision for a U.S.-built enrichment facility if a joint U.S.–Saudi study deems it warranted; BBC, CNN, Time, Al Jazeera and others likewise report the deal could allow future enrichment. Analysis pieces (e.g. Stimson) describe the reported two‑year joint study and a “black box” arrangement that would defer/envision domestic enrichment under U.S. involvement. Taken together, the official signing plus multiple independent news reports that the agreement provides for or could permit enrichment meet the corroboration standard in the evidence pool. (The administration’s public statements about limits or contingencies do not negate that a signed 123 agreement exists and that credible reporting describes an enrichment pathway.)
