Historic nuclear deal signed between superpower America and Saudi Arabia, power equation changed in the Middle East

The biggest news of this time is coming out from global politics and geo-politics of the Middle East. A very sensitive and historic nuclear deal has been agreed between the world’s most powerful country America and Gulf giant Saudi Arabia. After this agreement, the balance of power in the Gulf countries is going to change completely. This deal is not only being considered a big step in the field of defense and energy, but it has also created a stir in political circles from Islamabad to Beijing. What is the big plan of Washington and Riyadh behind the nuclear deal? Under this historic nuclear agreement, America will now transfer civil nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia. With this, the way may also be cleared for Saudi Arabia to get technical assistance for Uranium Enrichment in its own country. Experts say that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) wants to take the Saudi economy in a new direction by removing it from dependence on oil. At the same time, the Joe Biden administration wants to completely counter the growing influence of China and Russia in the Middle East through this deal, so that American supremacy is maintained. Why was there a big blow for Pakistan and the fear of being wiped out? The biggest and direct impact of this nuclear deal seems to be on Pakistan. Till now Pakistan had been presenting itself as the closest military and nuclear security shield to Saudi Arabia. History is witness to the fact that Pakistan carried forward its nuclear program only with the financial help of Saudi Arabia, and in return it used to guarantee security to Saudi Arabia. But now with America’s direct entry into the field, Saudi Arabia’s military and technological dependence on Pakistan will completely end. For Pakistan, which is struggling with economic crisis, the help it receives from Saudi Arabia and its diplomatic importance has now reached almost zero. What is the meaning and local impact of this deal for India? The impact of this big global deal will also be seen on the strategic interests of entire India including Delhi, Mumbai and Uttar Pradesh. Relations between India and Saudi Arabia have grown extremely strong in recent times, especially on the energy and security front. This US-Saudi proximity will bring stability to the Gulf region, which will provide security to millions of Indian expatriates working there and India’s crude oil imports. Along with this, this deal may prove indirectly beneficial for India in weakening the China-Pakistan alliance. In the coming days, it will be interesting to see how Iran and China counter this American entry.
