Iraqi experts believe Iran-Saudi deal will bring positive consequences for region

Baghdad, IRNA – Iran and Saudi Arabia on March 10 signed a deal, brokered by China, to resume diplomatic relations after seven years. IRNA has talked to two Iraqi experts to seek their views on the agreement which they believe would lead to positive consequences in West Asia, including promoting peace.

Tariq Al-Zubaidi, an assistant professor at the Faculty of Political Science of Baghdad University, believes that Tehran-Riyadh agreement will hopefully promote peace and stability in the region, while warning that it faces some “serious obstacles”.

“The most important obstacles, in my view, are some international factors such as the US and the Zionist regime, which will make all their efforts to bring this agreement to a failure,” the Iraqi academic said.

Another Iraqi expert Qassem Hossein Al-Sultani, who is a member of Rafad Strategic Studies Center, believes that the Iran-Saudi agreement will expand into areas other than diplomatic relations and will help nullify the Persian-Arab hostility.

In the coming months and after the re-opening of the Iranian and Saudi embassies, diplomatic relations between the two sides will expand to other areas such as economic and social issues, the expert said.

He also told IRNA that the agreement shows the high capabilities Iran has in the region, while it is indicative of China’s playing an influential role in the power balance in the world.

In the meantime, the agreement will help reduce a campaign of Iranophobia fomented by the US and the Zionist regime, Al-Sultani said, adding that the Iran-Saudi deal is the beginning of the fall of the US influence in the region.
