The United States has signed a landmark nuclear energy agreement with Saudi Arabia, marking a major shift in Middle East energy policy.

Critics worry about proliferation risks, while supporters say it keeps Saudi Arabia within the international non-proliferation framework. For India, this deal could reshape regional power dynamics and energy competition as both nations vie for influence in Gulf energy markets.
