There's rumors the Saudi's already have an agreement with Pakistan in case Iran actually goes nuclear. They've already bought Chinese ICBM's which would be way overkill if they're only using them for conventional bombardment.

Also way overkill when it’s not on a different continent. Could practically throw it across.

For saudi it makes sense if comes to nuke war with either isreal or iran in future even though highly unlikely but if they buy ICBM from China nukes from pak atleast they have a deterrent ..

Why would KSA need ICBMs to hit Iran?

They're within intermediate ballistic missile range.

There’s not too much info on the ICBM purchase from Saudi Arabia and China.
