China sees Iran-Saudi Arabia relations improving: Wang Yi


 

Wang Yi, the Foreign Minister of the People's Republic of China, has said that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia continue to take steps to improve relations, after the China-brokered deal signed in March.

The Chinese foreign minister said on Monday that the approach by Iran and Saudi Arabia leads to the formation of a "wave of reconciliation" in the Middle East region.

Wang Yi further said in a statement on Monday that China "appreciates the correct decision made by the Iranian side." He also reiterated China's support to Middle East countries.

The Chinese foreign minister also lauded Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah bin Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for holding successful talks with the Iranian officials after the Saudi embassy in Tehran had officially reopened. 

Recently, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran, visited Saudi Arabia. The Iranian foreign minister met Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Saudi Arabia. They held talks in Jeddah, a city in Saudi Arabia, on Friday. They reportedly discussed "future opportunities for cooperation." The Iranian minister traveled to Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, on Thursday. The Iranian minister also lauded the economic and security cooperation between the two countries.

 According to Wang Yi, the Iranian nuclear issue can only be "fundamentally resolved" if world powers and the Islamic Republic of Iran restore the integrity and effectively implement the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a deal on the Iranian nuclear program.

JCPOA or the Iran nuclear deal was signed between Iran and the various world leaders in 2015. It came into effect in 2016. However, the United States withdrew from the JCPOA on May 8, 2018. The move led to the collapse of the deal.

Exposing the Brotherhood: Why Jordan’s Terror Cell Bust Must Spark a Global Policy Shift

 The recent dismantling of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror cell in Jordan should not be seen as just a national security success—it must be a turning point in how the international community views and responds to the threat posed by the Brotherhood. Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...
