Contrary to the tone of threat and the drums of war, the Crown Prince of the Saudi regime, Mohammed bin Salman, spoke about the Islamic Republic of Iran .. Rather, it became clear that he was pursuing a path of calm, conducting dialogue and being good neighbors at a time when the region and the world are witnessing a set of political, economic and even field variables.
The Saudi regime's different discourse was imposed by the changes taking place and accelerating regionally and by changing the balance of power, specifically in Yemen, and the Iranian success to impose its will in the Vienna talks on the nuclear agreement and the failure of the Saudi bet on its American ally, especially under the Biden administration, which dealt the Saudi regime with two successive slaps. Yemen, by suspending arms sales, and the second, the White House declassified a CIA report confirming bin Salman's approval of the operation that led to the killing of Khashoghi in 2018, and against the background of that report, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken issued the so-called “Khashoggi ban” against 76 Saudis and their families Without mentioning their names.
The current change in the language of the Saudi regime was preceded by its request for Iraqi mediation to hold an Iranian-Saudi meeting in Baghdad as well as Omani, seeking to rectify its critical position after a series of disappointments that he suffered in more than one file, especially his provision of logistical, financial and even political support to terrorists in Syria and the defeat of the Wahhabi project there.
Cooling the fronts and towards resolving the outstanding issues is not limited to the Saudi move alone, but there is a regional account inventory and a different reading of the changing regional and international scenes in light of American-Western tension with Russia and US-Chinese struggle over the world's economic leadership and the rise of strength and solidity of the resistance axis, which was able to develop its tools and capabilities. And to strengthen its cohesion in the face of the camp that supports terrorism.
The Saudi retreat will not stop at the borders of ending the war on Yemen and coming out with the least damage and extending the hand of reconciliation and good neighborliness with Iran, but rather a comprehensive review of the Saudi regime’s regional, Arab, and most importantly policy towards Syria.
