Saudi-Iran will reopen embassy after 7 years
Saudi-Iran will reopen embassy after 7 years: Iranian Foreign Minister said - it will be soon, the decision taken after talks on Eid
Saudi Arabia and Iran are going to open their embassy in each other's capital within a few days. Iran's Foreign Minister Hussein Amir Abdullah gave this information in Lebanon's capital Beirut. However, Abdullah did not reveal the dates for the opening of the embassy.
He told that he had a phone conversation with the Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia on Eid. In it was decided that we will open the embassy in a few days. In fact, Saudi Arabia and Iran ended diplomatic relations in 2016 amid deteriorating relations. After this, last month, China made an agreement between the two.
Abdullah also told that Iran's President Ibrahim Raisi will go to Syria after 12 years. This will be the first visit by the President of Iran after the war broke out there in 2011. Iran has for years been helping Syrian President Bashar al-Assad fight rebels and stay in power. With the improvement of relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran, there are possibilities of stopping many conflicts in the Middle East.
Actually, Saudi and Iran are competing for supremacy among Arab countries. Saudi Arabia is a Sunni-majority country, while Iran's majority population is Shia. Because of this, both have been against each other. In Yemen, where the Huthi rebels got the support of Iran, Saudi supported the government there. The same was seen in Syria where Saudi helped the rebels and Iran supported Bashar al-Assad's government. According to Aljazeera, now with the improvement of relations between the two countries, it is expected that the conflicts and battles happening in other countries them will stop.
Many countries had tried to improve relations between Saudi and Iran. According to the Intercept report, after coming to power in the US, President Joe Biden had promised to end Yemen's civil war in two years. He could not fulfill the promise because of the enmity between Saudi and Iran. Which China has completed.
On March 11, an important agreement was reached between Iran and Saudi Arabia in Beijing, the capital of China. Which was done by China. In fact, seven years ago, Saudi Arabia started a trial against 32 Shia Muslims on charges of spying for Iran. Of these, 30 were citizens of Saudi Arabia only. Iran threatened retaliation. Subsequently, Saudi Arabia executed three Iranian citizens on charges of drug smuggling. Both countries reached the brink of war. During this, America came to help Saudi.
It has been said in the report that due to the policy of supplying arms, America had no such image in the Middle East that it could be considered worthy of establishing peace. Which China has taken advantage of. By making an agreement between Saudi and Iran, China opened the way to end the war in Yemen.
