Iran and Saudi Arabia Reestablish Diplomatic Ties with Embassy Reopening

Iran has reopened its embassy in Saudi Arabia after a seven-year closure, marking a new era in relations between the two Middle East heavyweights. The move follows a Chinese-brokered rapprochement agreement signed in March, which also saw Saudi Arabia restore ties with Tehran ally Syria and ramp up a push for peace in Yemen. The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, is currently visiting Saudi Arabia and is expected to meet with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and attend a Gulf Cooperation Council meeting in Riyadh.
