A group of House Democrats introduced a resolution on Thursday to block the U.S. nuclear agreement with Saudi Arabia, citing the lack of safeguards in the deal applied in previous agreements with other U.S. allies and arguing that the deal paves the path toward a Saudi nuclear weapon.

Under procedural rules, the Democrats should be able to force votes on the resolution, which seems likely to pick up support from most Democrats and potentially a handful of Republicans.

Given the tight margins in each chamber, the resolution could — but is far from guaranteed to — pass, but is unlikely to meet the two-thirds majority needed to override a presidential veto, should the administration push ahead anyway.

“This U.S.-Saudi nuclear agreement dangerously departs from decades of nonproliferation standards and presents considerable risks,” Reps. Greg Meeks (D-NY), Brad Sherman (D-CA), John Garamendi (D-CA) and Don Beyer (D-VA) said in a joint statement. The four lawmakers are leading the resolution against the nuclear deal. Meeks is the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

They emphasized that the deal does not require Saudi Arabia to commit not to enrich or reprocess energy or to agree to enhanced International Atomic Energy Agency inspections under the Additional Protocol.

The deal specifically arranges for a mechanism for potential nuclear enrichment inside Saudi Arabia, in a U.S.-managed facility, while also not ruling out independent Saudi enrichment activity.

“A region already gripped by conflict and escalation does not need another nuclear power,” the lawmakers continued, highlighting that Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman has been clear that Saudi Arabia would seek a nuclear weapon if Iran obtains one and that Riyadh has been expanding its ballistic missile capacity.

“Handing Saudi Arabia enrichment capacity under these conditions — even with the stipulations included in the agreement the administration has shared with Congress — isn’t just reckless nonproliferation policy, it’s an invitation to a nuclear arms race in the Middle East,” the lawmakers said.
