CNN, citing sources familiar with intelligence assessments, revealed that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is manufacturing ballistic missiles at a site established with Chinese assistance west of Riyadh.
The network quoted in a report published today, Thursday, experts who analyzed satellite images, which is the first evidence in their opinion that the Saudi facility is working to produce missiles.
The US network added that US officials - including officials from the National Security Council - were briefed on this information.
CNN pointed out that members of the US Congress received an intelligence briefing stating that the Saudi program would undermine Washington's efforts to curb Iran in this area.
She noted that members of Congress discussed the difficulties that may face the nuclear negotiations in the midst of this news.
