Iran to reopen embassy in Saudi Arabia after 7-year closure.
Iran will reopen its embassy in Saudi Arabia this week, seven years after it was closed due to a diplomatic rift. The move comes in accordance with a China-brokered agreement between Tehran and Riyadh, which set a deadline of two months to reopen embassies. The two regional powerhouses have been steadily reducing tensions in recent months, something they have said will help bolster security across the region.
