Arab and Muslim countries raise their voices against Israel

Clearly Riyadh and Tehran are warming their relationship, and this is a very different regional environment as compared to when Trump was last in office,

Hellyer said

This visit also takes place after the election of [Donald] Trump in the US, who promised peace in [the Middle East]. However, the possibility of tensions ramping up is still here. So Iran and Saudi Arabia are indeed trying to make sure that everything is on the right track,

Assadi said

Mohammad Bagheri (Iranian commander)general

We would like the Saudi navy to join Iranian naval exercises next year, either as participants or observers,

Fars quoted Bagheri as saying

The development of defence diplomacy and the expansion of bilateral cooperation are among the main topics of this meeting,

it added

They’re trying to build a sort of confidence when it comes to collective action against collective threats,

he added

Fayyad Al Ruwaili, Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of Saudi Arabia, will travel to Iran at the head of a high-ranking military delegation

on Sunday ... the local Tasnim news agency said

Riyadh also wants to put a definitive end to the conflict in Yemen, and in particular to the shelling of Saudi territory by the Houthis,

Sons said

Messages from the Americans to the Iranians have already been communicated via the Saudis. This will be an important part of Saudi regional policy and diplomacy in future,

Sons said

The regime has been concerned about increasing economic challenges leading to probably more severe waves of protest,

adding that

Years of sanctions and economic mismanagement, corruption, ... had hit Iran hard
