the escalate, as we said in the beginning. but the important thing here is the chinese roll. this region has been known for years to be under the u. s. influence. this is the 1st time that china is playing sought should, all, and this means that the chinese and having more leverage in the middle east were relations between iran and saudi arabia have been hostile for decades, threatening stability and security in the region. after the iranian revolution in 1979 terran began to openly criticize the legitimacy of the saudi regime. in 1987 relations between iran and saudi arabia were severed after the death of iranian pilgrims, diplomatic ties were restored in 1991 in 2001, saudi arabia and iran signed a security agreement. the pac simila nations were ready to co operate on regional stability. well, as the war in yemen began in 2015, saudi arabia, back to the internationally recognized government and targeted who the rebels

a conflict between saudi arabian iran will absolutely be welcomed by the white house. that being said, we live in an increasingly multi polar world, and the u. s. is not expected or willing to be involved in every negotiation in every issue. in this particular agreement, china was in a much better position. arguably, the u. s. could not have completed this agreement because it does not maintain formal relations with iran. china does. china maintains very strong relations with saudi arabia and it maintains very strong relations with iran. but look, this was not an act of diplomatic charity on the part of the chinese. the reality is that there is a very tense rivalry between saudi arabia and iran, and china managers relations with both of these countries. it's in china's interest that there is an agreement between these 2 parties. ah,
