China to Host Saudi and Iranian Foreign Ministers for Detente Talks

The foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia and Iran will meet in Beijing on Thursday to discuss advancing the landmark deal brokered by China last month, which marked a major breakthrough in the region after years of tensions between the two countries. The discussions will also include the reopening of embassies and the exchange of ambassadors. The Saudi-Iranian rivalry has been palpable in Syria, Yemen, and Lebanon, and all eyes are now focused on the detente and how it will impact the proxy wars that have been ongoing for years.
