Iran-Saudi ties restoration: According to an American geostrategic analyst and writer, the resumption of diplomatic relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia is “a disaster for US hegemony, which is founded on permanent instability between any potential allies and competitors.”
After several days of intense negotiations hosted by China, Iran and Saudi Arabia agreed on Friday to re-establish diplomatic relations and re-open embassies in each other’s countries, seven years after they were severed over a variety of issues.
Iran-Saudi ties restoration can badly damage United States’s foreign policy.

Daniel Patrick Welch said in an interview with Press TV on Friday, “It’s huge.”
“Without the Shia-Sunni split for the US to exploit, where the world could be headed?” he asked poignantly.
“The US and its imperial watchmen never sleep and are always on the lookout for things like this. Their fake veneer of ‘diplomacy’ and ‘values’ are, in fact, the very opposite of what they portend. China’s role is the hallmark of a new era. Without having to rely on two-faced US ‘diplomats’ who are, usually, largely managing their own interests, nations, societies, and cultures at odds could–gasp!–instead of spending trillions on destroying each other, might actually work…dare we say it, together?… for the advancement of humankind,” he stated.
“By contrast, the US, brimming with the hubris of an out-of-touch rich uncle, treats this role with none of the same sincerity. Like strolling into Kazakhstan and saying things like ‘we are a leader in Asia,’” the analyst noted.
“Or, another example would be to use brazen acts of terror and violence–like blowing up gas pipelines between Russia and Germany–to turn potential allies into adversaries at war. Backstabbing acts of evil which turn out to be the distress signal of a dying empire,” Welch concluded.

In the Chinese capital of Beijing, Iran, and Saudi Arabia agreed to restore diplomatic relations and reopen embassies and missions.
The agreement was reached on Friday after intensive negotiations in Beijing between Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Secretary Ali Shamkhani and his Saudi counterpart. Iran, Saudi Arabia, and China officially announced it in a joint statement.
Shakhani, Saudi Arabia’s national security adviser Musaid Al Aiban, and Wang Yi, director of the Chinese Communist Party’s Office of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission, signed the statement.
Since Monday, Shamkhani has been in intensive talks with his Saudi counterpart in Beijing to find a final solution to the issues between Tehran and Riyadh. The talks came after a meeting in Beijing last month between Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.
