Saudi Arabia prepares to grant IAEA additional inspection powers under US-Saudi nuclear deal
A US-Saudi civil nuclear cooperation agreement reached in July does not require Riyadh to sign the IAEA Additional Protocol, but IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said Saudi Arabia is preparing to go beyond its core safeguards obligations with additional verification and monitoring authorizations covering uranium enrichment, conversion, and reprocessing. Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman said Saudi Arabia intends to pursue the full nuclear fuel cycle transparently alongside international monitors, distinguishing its approach from Iran's nuclear secrecy.

Saudi Energy Minister Takes Swipe at Iran's Nuclear Secrecy

The split, in one line
Jerusalem Post and Reuters quote Grossi on provisions very similar to Additional Protocol, while Bloomberg leads with the Saudi minister's swipe at Iran's nuclear secrecy to frame Riyadh as the transparent alternative.
