Iran, with the mediation of China, recently signed an agreement to normalize relations with Saudi Arabia.

It is reported that, according to the representative of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Nasir Kanaani, “diplomacy has shown good results.”
“The resumption of political relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia is a sign of the effectiveness and success of the diplomatic process aimed at achieving mutual understandings, eliminating misunderstandings, and steps to expand relations based on mutual interests,” Kanaani stated.
The authorities of Bahrain and Egypt also confirmed to the media that, in order to eliminate misunderstandings and resolve existing issues, diplomatic representatives will continue their work. In the near future, Manama and Cairo on one side, and Tehran on the other, may normalize diplomatic relations between the countries.
During the “Arab Spring” from 2011 to 2013 in the Arab countries of North Africa and the Middle East, Iran openly supported the protesters in Arab countries, but in Syria, it supported the government of Bashar al-Assad.
Also, when the Houthis came to power in Yemen in 2014, accusations from Arab countries against Iran increased. The Gulf countries and Egypt still accuse Iran of interfering in the internal affairs of Arab countries such as Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and Yemen.
On the other hand, Iran constantly accuses Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries of interfering in Iran’s internal affairs. It is precisely due to accusations of interference in the internal affairs of countries that relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Egypt have significantly deteriorated, and after the attack on the Saudi embassy and consulate in Tehran, the parties severed relations.
