Mr. Martin Indik, former US Ambassador to Israel and a friend

.
Following is an excerpt of the Speech of Martin Indik - actual Director of Saban Center for ME Policy, The Brookings Institution - at US Senate FR Committee (Hearings to Iran's Nuclear Ambitions: Next Steps) on last Sept 19th:

"...complicated diplomatic challenge that United States currently confronts. The stakes could hardly be higher. If the United States fails to achieve a diplomatic outcome that provides the International Community with sufficient confidence that Iran is no longer pursuing a nuclear weapons capability, the results are likely to be dire. In the already volatile Middle East, the logical consequences of diplomatic failure are either an extended military conflict or a nuclear arms race, or both...."

So, most logic question that follows is "which countries are going to provide Nuclear 'Development' to Egypt, Saudi Arabia and some other Arab countries?"

Answer: China and Pakistan are potentially the providers of nuclear technology for Arab Gulf States.
