Allegedly North Korea, Saudi Arabia and Iran.

I am reasonably certain it is the opposite. Saudi Arabia funded Pakistani science to make sure they developed nuclear weapons.

Saudi Arabia has no need to develop nuclear weapons or posses them as a result. They can just ask Pakistan for them at a moments notice if they actually need to.

Sure, think of it as buying call options instead of shares from the Saudis POV.
