Tehran, Riyadh For years there has been a bitter enmity between Iran and Saudi Arabia, and now the two countries are getting closer to each other. As a first step, the foreign ministers of the two rival countries want to meet, state media in the two countries reported on Friday. Accordingly, high-level government officials signed a similar agreement at a meeting in China.
The United States has traditionally been a close partner of Saudi Arabia, but the estrangement has increased in recent years. An observer in Riyadh said that Washington is responsible for the Saudi-Iranian rapprochement. Biden is “hostile” to the Saudis and is now receiving a receipt for it.

Riyadh and Tehran now want to settle their differences through dialogue. The two countries also agreed to reopen the two embassies within two months.
