KEPCOなどは、今回の米・サウジ合意がウェスチングハウスに有利に働き、サウジアラビアを自らの「市場」とした同社との合意に違反するのではと危惧している。

Donald Trump’s plans for a nuclear deal with Saudi Arabia are bringing tensions between US and South Korean reactor developers to the fore, surfacing details of a clash over market access that has garnered interest from regulators. https://t.co/0gQOuFNGm8

有権者向けのアピール。もちろんサウジは濃縮を諦めていない。サウジとしては「投稿にいちいちコメントするのは差し控えさせていただく」って感じだろう（もちろん定例の記者会見がある国ではないのでこういう発言すら出てこないが）。

"The Civil Nuclear Deal (There will be no enrichment of material!) being made between the United States Department of Energy and Saudi Arabia, which pertains only to non-military use such as the ones that Iran and UAE (and others) already have, will be approved, but is totally subject to Saudi Arabia joining the very respected and successful Abraham Accords. The United States is not opposed to Civil (Non-Enriched) Nuclear Facilities. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

イランに近い航路を（おそらくはイランの了解のもとで）通過した船舶は攻撃を受けず、オマーンに近い航路を通過した船舶は攻撃を受けた。由々しきことだがイランは自らが了解していない船舶の海峡通過は力で阻止する構え。

🔴 The US also undertakes to withdraw its forces from the surrounding areas within 30 days after the final agreement

🔴 Upon signing this Memorandum of Understanding, Iran will immediately take steps to ensure that the movement of merchant ships from the Arabian Gulf to the Sea of Oman and vice versa is resumed within 30 days to the pre-war volume, taking into account the need for the removal of technical obstacles and the neutralization of mines by Iran

🔴 The US undertakes, together with its regional partners, to create a comprehensive plan agreed upon by both parties for the rehabilitation and economic development of Iran, while ensuring financing of at least $300 billion

🔴 The implementation mechanism of this plan, as part of the final agreement, will be formulated within 60 days

🔴 The United States commits to ending, on a schedule to be agreed upon as part of the final agreement, all types of sanctions currently facing Iran, including resolutions of the United Nations Security Council and the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and all unilateral US sanctions, both primary and secondary

🔴 Iran reiterates that it will never produce nuclear weapons

🔴 Iran and the US have agreed that the fate of enriched material and the fate of all other mutually agreed nuclear-related issues, including Iran’s nuclear needs, will be adequately addressed in a final agreement

🔴 Iran and the US agree that, pending a final agreement, they will maintain the status quo: Iran will maintain the status quo on its nuclear program, and the US will not impose new sanctions on Iran or strengthen its forces in the region

🔴 The US undertakes that immediately after the signing of this Memorandum of Understanding, and until the date of the lifting of sanctions, the US Treasury Department will issue waivers for exports of Iranian crude oil, petrochemical products and their derivatives, and all related services, including banking, insurance, transportation, and the like

🔴 The US undertakes that, in light of the progress of negotiations towards a final agreement, frozen or restricted funds and assets of Iran will be released and made fully available

🔴 Iran and the US agree that an implementation mechanism will be established to oversee the successful implementation of and future commitment to the Final Agreement

🔴 Following the signing of this Memorandum of Understanding, and upon receipt of assurances regarding the commencement of implementation of Articles 4, 5, 10, and 11 of this Memorandum of Understanding, and the continued implementation of these steps, Iran and the US will enter into negotiations for a Final Agreement solely with respect to the remaining Articles

🔴 The final agreement will be approved through a binding resolution of the UN Security Council
