An American geostrategic analyst and writer has said that the restoration of diplomatic relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia is “a catastrophe for US hegemony, which is founded on permanent instability between any potential allies and competitors.”

After several days of intensive negotiations hosted by China, Iran and Saudi Arabia reached an agreement on Friday to restore diplomatic relations and re-open embassies in each other’s countries; seven years after ties were severed over several issues. ...

Iran and Saudi Arabia reached an agreement in the Chinese capital of Beijing to restore their diplomatic relations and re-open embassies and missions.


I know it's an Iranian propaganda site, but it is significant that China hosted this meeting. It looks like China's influence is growing and the US's is declining.

Saudi Arabia fears Iran as a future nuclear power. The US under Biden will not stop Iran from developing nukes. Maybe China convinced the Saudis that Iran may not see the need for a nuke if they have better relations.

This is part of the Chinese long strategy:

This includes routes throughout the Middle East.

I'm sure the Chinese gave some coin and other concessions to Iran, which needs every shekel. Saudis couldn't give a fuck about money, but looks like they're willing to cooperate for some reason. Peace with Iran (and their forthcoming nukes) might be death to Israel?

No.

Saudi Arabia is run by a mafia family, the Sa'ud Family. That gang of criminals rose to power with the help of the British and the US directly protects their ability to rule. Saudi Arabia "hates" Iran because the US does, and they "like" Israeli because the US does. They're the most obvious puppets in the world.

China might take over the strings.

They don't have to. Iran has not interested in developing nuclear weapons at this point in time. This is why they are a signatory to the NNPT and allow unfettered inspection. The US has been claiming that Iran is "close to developing a nuclear weapon in months" since the early 1980s.

Any small nation that uses nuclear weapons would be destroyed if they attempted to use them, for any reason. This includes Israel. Israel continually threatens Europe with their nuclear weapons, not the Middle East. They also threaten the Sampson Option, which is using the nuclear weapons to destroy Israel.

Also in working for a cooling down in the Middle East, a Fatwa has been declared against Hamas by a Sunni/Shiite collaboration of clerics.
They are asking for Hamas to jon peacetalks.
