China: Masterstroke. And better luck for America and Israel!
Written by: Dr. Crimean Amani
Made in China: A Saudi-Iranian agreement.. A surprise of a heavy caliber in proportion to the weight of the combined forces.. The two countries that have been most incompatible and competitive in the last twenty years in the region of fluctuations and shifting sands of the "Middle East" have agreed to restore relations between them and exchange ambassadors within two months. The most important provisions of the agreement is the reactivation of the security agreement that was signed between Tehran and Riyadh in 2001 during the visit of former Interior Minister Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz to Iran, and it constitutes the essence of cooperation between the two countries in combating terrorism, money laundering, border control and territorial waters, that is, everything It has to do with regional security. This is a strong confirmation that what happened in Beijing is serious and effective from the moment it was signed, and is not limited to formal diplomacy and grandiose rhetoric.
The three countries have a vital interest in this agreement, which was not born of the moment.. but the moment is Chinese par excellence.. two years ago, Saudi Arabia and Iran, within the framework of silent talks in Iraq.. China was able to understand the moment in which Iran and Saudi Arabia could meet on a common interest and strike its final blow For American arrogance and achieving a distinguished diplomatic victory, and proving that it is on the way to get out of the cloak of economic influence to the effectiveness of political influence in a region that the United States believed was a monopoly on it, leaving it and returning to it according to its need. Welcome to China, a regional player, and better luck for America and Israel!
Saudi Arabia, for its part, wants to end the war in Yemen, restore calm on its borders, and restore its prestige and position as a major regional power with influential extensions and relations with all countries. It is likely that the first outcome of the agreement will be to stop the Yemeni war and start preparing for the upcoming settlements there. Also, it is not surprising that boredom and disgust have afflicted the Saudis with the supremacy of the Americans and their continuous internal criticism of the policy of government inside Saudi Arabia whenever there is a disagreement in views on an issue between Washington and Riyadh, so what is the objection to opening up to other powers that are more observant and polite to the specificity of the Saudi situation?
As for Iran, which is tired of being hostile to everyone and has discovered that the zero-friends policy does not work, and that its continuation in fueling tensions in the surrounding countries and playing the role of a revolutionary threat to unrest in the region will only result in internal and external losses, in addition to that its current alliances are not enough with its explicit hostility to regional powers. A window like Saudi Arabia.
The agreement has critical dimensions in terms of ensuring future regional stability, because it is a golden opportunity to establish a new regime that depends on the cooperation of the forces in the region instead of the dangerous competition in which religion mixes with politics and spreads extremism, chaos and threats that affected weak countries in previous years. In addition, it prevents malicious countries such as Israel from feeding and fueling this competition, and proves that any country's attempt to draw new maps in the region is a very failed attempt, and that the policy of regime change does not work, and the most important thing is that it /will postpone/ at least the Israeli dream of normalization with Israel. Saudi Arabia.
