Iran, Saudi Arabia Renew Ties, 'Resounding Failure for Netanyahu'
According to the report, the foreign ministers of the two Middle Eastern countries will meet in the near future, and the countries will re-open their embassies within two months
Iran and Saudi Arabia have agreed to re-establish diplomatic relations within two months, Iranian state media reported on Friday.
Following talks in Beijing, the foreign ministers of the two countries are set to meet again in the near future, and the countries will re-open their embassies, the report said.
Ali Shamkhani, the secretary of the Iran's Supreme National Security Council, thanked China for mediating between the parties. The Saudi Foreign Ministry has confirmed the deal in a joint statement with Iran and China.
The White House National Security Council Spokesperson welcomed the news and "any efforts to help end war in Yemen and de-escalate tensions in the Middle East," although it is unclear whether the U.S. knew about the deal in advance.
On Thursday, it was reported that Saudi Arabia had asked for U.S. security guarantees and assistance with building up its civilian nuclear program as a condition for normalizing ties between the kingdom and Israel.

You never can tell in politics, eh. That's something I thought would NEVER happen- but it has.
The degenerate Sauds have, however, stuck Biden on the horns of a dilemma. In the past the US has backed Israel's illegal attacks on other country's civil nuclear projects. Now the Sauds are asking for US protection from such illegal Zionist aggression as they develop their own nuclear power. Should the US agree then Iran could request the same protection.
Imagine, the US protecting Iran's civil nuclear program, a NPT treaty signatory, from attacks by covertly-nuclear-armed Israeli fascists ?
It's a weird world.
