Shi'ite Iran insists its nuclear programme is peaceful. King Abdullah said he did not want to see a nuclear arms race The nuclear arms race was a competition for supremacy in nuclear weapons between the United States and Soviet Union and their respective allies during the Cold War. During the Cold War, in addition to the American and Soviet nuclear stockpiles, other countries also developed in the Middle East, saying international regulations should be applied. Israel is the only nuclear power in the region although it refuses to acknowledge possession of nuclear weapons under a policy known as "nuclear ambiguity".
