Press TV — March 10, 2023
Various countries have welcomed the restoration of diplomatic relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia, while the regime in Tel Aviv seems to view the development as a “fatal blow” to its regional coalition building against the Islamic Republic.
After several days of intensive negotiations hosted by China, Iran and Saudi Arabia finally clinched a deal on Friday to restore diplomatic relations and re-open embassies, seven years after ties were severed over several issues.
The important development soon became a hot topic in regional as well as international media and reactions from other countries began to pour in.
“The return to normal relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Saudi Arabia provides great capacities to both countries, the region, and the Muslim world,” Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, who is set to soon meet with his Saudi counterpart to make the necessary arrangements, wrote in a post on his Twitter account.
“The good neighborliness policy, as the key axis of the Iranian administration’s foreign policy, is strongly moving in the right direction and the diplomatic apparatus is actively behind the preparation of more regional steps,” he said.
Riyadh eyeing continuation of dialogue
Saudi National Security Adviser Musaid Al Aiban, who negotiated the agreement with his Iranian counterpart Ali Shamkhani, said that Riyadh “welcomes the initiative of His Excellency President Xi Jinping, based on the Kingdom’s consistent and continuous approach since its establishment in adhering to the principles of good neighborliness.”
He said Saudi Arabia takes “everything that would enhance security and stability in the region and the world,” while “adopting the principle of dialogue and diplomacy to resolve differences.”
“While we value what we have reached, we hope that we will continue to continue the constructive dialogue, in accordance with the pillars and foundations included in the agreement, expressing our appreciation for the People’s Republic of China’s continued positive role in this regard.”
China: This is ‘victory for dialogue’
China’s Top Diplomat Wang Yi praised the agreement as “a victory for dialogue, a victory for peace, offering major good news at a time of much turbulence in the world.”
China will continue to play a constructive role in handling hotspot issues in the world and demonstrate its responsibility as a major nation, Wang said. “The world is not just limited to the Ukraine issue.”
Nasrallah: Agreement could lead to new horizons
Addressing a local event on Friday, the secretary general of Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said the agreement will be “to the benefit” of the region.
“The rapprochement of Iran and Saudi Arabia proceeds in its normal path and can open new horizons for the region and Lebanon,” he said.
The Iranian foreign minister also held separate phone conversations with his Omani, Iraq, and Qatari counterparts who embraced the resumption of ties.
Turkey and the United Arab Emirates also welcomed the new development in separate statements.
US welcomes ‘de-escalation’
In the first reaction, the United States claimed that it embraces “de-escalation” in West Asia.
“Generally speaking, we welcome any efforts to help end the war in Yemen and de-escalate tensions in the Middle East region. De-escalation and diplomacy together with deterrence are key pillars of the policy President Biden outlined during his visit to the region last year,” a White House National Security Council spokesperson told Reuters.
Ansarullah hails move against foreign interference
Mohammed Abdulsalam, the Yemeni Ansarullah resistance movement’s chief negotiator, said the region is in need of resumption of “normal ties” between its countries.
“The region needs the resumption of normal ties between its countries for the Islamic nation to reclaim its lost security as a result of foreign, especially American-Zionist, interferences,” he tweeted.
Foreign interference, he said, has taken advantage of differences in the region and used Iranophobia to wage aggression on Yemen.
‘Dangerous development for Israel’
Meanwhile, the Israeli regime did not seem to take the development so well. Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett called the agreement a “political victory” for Iran and a “serious and dangerous development for Israel.”
“This delivers a fatal blow to efforts to build a regional coalition against Iran,” he said.
Former Prime Minister Yair Lapid also described the reconciliation deal as a dangerous development that strips Israel of its regional defensive wall. “The agreement between Saudi Arabia and Iran reflects the complete and dangerous failure of the Israeli government’s foreign policy,” Lapid said.
Benny Gantz, former minister of military affairs, also reacted to the rapprochement, stating that it was a cause for concern.
Like I said yesterday, or the day before, Israel is on borrowed time. The Saudis don’t want their oil fields ruined, and China is a major investor in Iran.
This deal is an excellent example of WEF impotence.
the Saudi royals like the UK royals according to Anthony Blunt the pervert traitor
are all secret jews
Yemen was part of the old world that spoke a language like pre-1700 Welsh. I used to hear their accent on short-wave radio
Peaceful coexistence from eastern diplomacy defeats western war meant to divide. The sun really is setting on the criminal western empire and in a few short years it’s dusk already.
Isis ra l is the story of Egypt as palestine had already been conquered by Totmoses 3 and bequeted to Abraham as a covenant between the Pharaon (seen in those days as the son of god) and Abraham.Israel was part of Egypt and the story of David is in fact the story of Totmoses 3.To be fair those fake jews living in Israel should have returned to Egypt and the story of the exodus is a fairy tale put together by those who wrote the bible.Why is it that they had to destroy the library of Alexandria and move the spiritual center of Egypt to Rome ? What about the cover up of the the one god pharao Amenotep 4(aka Moses) .Bear in mind that the pyramid of Giza is also a cover up in so far as carbon dating is concerned.
very good ! CHINA is blessed . a big
blow for israhell !
Another sign that the chosen that be have decided that Israel is yesterday and Ukraine is Israel 2.0 – clearly Ukrainians are the new Palestinians.
I’m thinking a fatal blow to Israel will occur within a couple years – this will be the excuse for WW3.
Keep in mind the Saudi royal family are jews and they’ve always been a subsidiary of USrael.
lt seems that the common Western imbecile caught up in all the dramas and distractions fed to him..
.. is oblivious to the insidious plan to the destroy the Western World… and these central bankers…the ‘architects’….having created it’s replacement..are now placing it centre stage…(as they always have done)..
Presumably the time to object would have been when they shipped all your wealth and industry East under the guise of financialization… (theft)..
fifty years ago…
..But somehow this time round they have you all cheering them on.. probably because Western societies are no longer homogeneous and thus much weakened (as beta tested in South Africa and Rhodesia.)..which of course was all part of the operation…
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett “This delivers a fatal blow to efforts to build a regional coalition against Iran,” ? ?
Saudi Arabia, Israel and Iran expect to prosper greatly in Chinese trade and economic developments underway.
The real conflict in the world with the use of the global warming hoax and the Covid pandemic, and likely even the war in the Ukraine has to do with future business developments and opportunities with competition between the East and the US-UK business empire. It is all about business and economic controls and that is why the Western business community plays along 100% with all of the massive deceptions and efforts to model our work forces in the image of totalitarian China.

“As countries in the West have grown increasingly distant from China in recent years amid the pandemic and disputes over issues like Xinjiang, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, Israel has continued to pursue a close relationship with the PRC.
China is Israel’s third-largest trading partner.”
Engaging Israel in the Belt and Road Initiative: China’s Techno-Nationalism in the Middle East
https://www.hks.harvard.edu/centers/mrcbg/programs/growthpolicy/engaging-israel-belt-and-road-initiative-chinas-techno
“October 31, 2022, Book Chapter: “The enormous growth of China’s investments in Israel has become one of the major changes in the Middle East’s geopolitics during the last decade. This paper examines the nationalist motivation behind China’s investment in Israeli technologies and Israel’s strategic role in China’s intended transition from the “world factory” to a global innovation champion. China’s engagement with Israel in the Belt and Road Initiative reflects Chinese techno-nationalism, and the Chinese government has used nationalist discourse to mobilize private enterprises to invest in Israeli technology, promoting the growth of Chinese private investments alongside Chinese state-affiliated investments in Israel since 2014. This chapter also analyses how the surge in Chinese investment activities has shaped larger debates and tensions in Israel’s policymaking and national identity.”

Climate justice with Chinese characteristics? – Nov. 7, 2022
https://www.chathamhouse.org/2022/11/climate-justice-chinese-characteristics
“China’s latest grand concept, the Global Development Initiative (GDI), is no exception. When Chinese president Xi Jinping introduced it at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September 2021, it made hardly any splash in the West, perhaps because China has already signalled its determination to shape international development in the post-COVID era.”
“China’s leaders recognize the BRI was not warmly received in global development circles, owing partly to its role in increasing both climate and financial risks. In implementing the GDI, they need to rethink some basic assumptions. Although gigantic infrastructure investments drove China’s own economic miracle, the same approach is not necessarily applicable everywhere.”
This new alliance is huge. The world is rejecting Jewmerika backstabbers as the leaders.
Saudi Arabia was strongly aligned with Israel.
Israel has to be shitting bricks.
The Jew dreams of controlling all Middle East oil is dead
Jews are in Syria right now stealing oil
These oil fields is what Jews want:

Jews want it all, but wittle little Israel has none, poor Jews
The Saudi royals are Jews – but they are the original Jews from Yeman, Semitic. Those now immorally in Israel (in which there never were any Jews whatsoever, of any kind) are not Semitic – they are from the Ukraine – actually from between the Caspian and Black Seas – but they kept moving West. They adopted Judaism sometime in 685 when they werer told that they had to become more civilised – their habits wre so disgusting that the authorities in Constantinople told them to adopt either Christianity or Islam or Judaism – and they decided to become Jews. They seem to be those Jews who follow things like the Talmud and all sorts of strange stuff.
Semitic Jews, true Jews, despise them.
The Saudi royals are true Jews, known as Donmeh. Some Donmeh are also in Turkey.
There are reports the US is making moves into Indonesia with hopes of building two military bases there. These of course would be ideal for stocking up war materiel in the area and convenient launching pads for war with China. I doubt the US has the balls for war with China but that wouldn’t stop it from talking big and making mischief. China would be forced to guard against that, taking away some of its time and effort which could have gone into developing its partnerships elsewhere. P!ssing on its parades so to speak. But after realising what Russia can do in Ukraine and what it can’t, p!ssing on parades is perhaps its new limit.

This is a fascinating series made by John McCarthy – the Englich journalist who was held hostage in Beirut for five years,
It looks like ‘regime change’ is on the cards for Saudi Arabia – probably headed by a puppet prince.
Astraea– Ralph Ellis explained that those unlikely stories where a baby floats down the river were to hide the real lineage, always from incest back then (and always, with Royals, at any time): it is only the Plebs who are to make do with strangers and feel alienated from each other
If China is interested in mending ties between Iran and Saudi Arabia, then there is no way China is interested to be involved in a war with Taiwan.
Here is the sum up:
::::::::::Saudis::::::::::
They understand that US has become a bad/useless master and they have seen and felt Iran’s missile and drone power. They can’t escape from their mess in Yemen and they have lost untold amounts of money in Syria. While they have been going along with the Abraham-Accord which was US/Zion plan, they did so out of misery and lack of options and were hesitant; however China provided that “push” to ease their move-away from US sphere. Bad for Zion, bad for petrodollar, good for everyone else!
::::::::::China::::::::::
Their main plan is Belt and Road Initiative, they want to develop the east-west corridor and spend their money to build the region and reap the rewards and become an even bigger economic superpower; for that to happen, they need security along the path of the ancient silk-road, obviously US/Zion/NATO prefer insecurity along the path in the form of wars, civil-wars, revolutions and environmental disasters. China can’t rely on anyone else other than Iran which simply does not budge! Take nuclear Pakistan, over one night US removed Imran Khan and the country became pro US/NATO! China needs energy security and stability to grow more and more! It is like a baby dragon of unquenchable hunger. China does not have an invading aggressive ideology that they want to export to the rest of the world similar to Western Liberalism, at least not yet! Chinese are not war-mongers and actually prefer not to start a conflict with Taiwan, something US loved to happen and they did everything to provoke it.
::::::::::Zion::::::::::
They are in deep manure! Netanyahu had to escape to Italy (looks like it!), his wife was chased out of a beauty salon by Israeli Jewish protestors and had to be escorted by Police, his navy is on strike and blocked Haifa port, his pilots are on strike too and the Police chief is not happy with handling of the protests!
https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2020-10-05/ty-article-magazine/.premium/former-senior-police-commanders-cracking-down-on-protests-to-please-police-minister/0000017f-e4cd-d9aa-afff-fddd16d40000
Zion Jewish fundamentalists have had a dream to make a Jewish revolution similar to what Khomeini did in Iran! This had to come about from under a Secular skin! But most Jews don’t care and have become liberal and secular like the rest of the world, and they are protesting these fundamentalist Jews! It is really pathetic, consider the current chaotic situation and Netanyahu is promising Italy to become an energy hub, you know Zion had discovered gas reserves and Hezbollah told them some of it is in Lebanese waters and you must give our share or we destroy your platforms and they accepted Hezbollah demands! Netanyahu even killed some Palestinians in hope to invoke a response from Hamas and other Palestinian groups to distract the Jewish protestors and rally them over the new cause against terrorists, it worked the first part but still protests are ongoing! : ) Saudis are now coming to kiss the hand that they along with their masters could not break (Iran)! and YET in Italy Netanyahu is on borrowed time and still promising futile and crappy things! Some time ago Zion had a joint large military drill with US and Zion did the failed drone attack in Iran to somehow bring US closer to a confrontation with Iran and US officials simply denied involvement. Then pro-Iran Palestinians assassinated two female IDF drone specialist using drones! And another Zion owned tanker was hit by a drone in the sea! IRGC commander said they had responded and Palestinians carried out the response! So things are looking very bad for Israel and still they are trying to show that that they are tough!
If you see an artificial earthquake or some fake miracle happening in Zion don’t be surprised, they have no more options. Iran is simply telling its allies to stop and watch as Zion is collapsing under its own weight!
::::::::::Iran::::::::::
This country is very stable despite what they tried to do with the protests, interestingly now the entire world is in protest! They created some fake women movement in Iran and upon it released their separatists of all kinds, MEK and ISIS terrorists, and they spent 1/10 of the money they spent in Ukraine, in and around Iran and by funding media and news outlets and cyber armies, or with cryptocurrency to create Joker mobs in Iran, they were successful to some extent but it did not work as they would have liked, it was their last hope and they burnt all of their last cards in Iran. They had multiple goals, the least of which was to show that Iran is unstable and about to collapse so to make investments in Iran risky and less attractive in particular for China. But now the exact opposite is happening and it is terrible for US/ZION/NATO. Despite “maximum pressure” and sanctions upon sanctions, Iran ranks 11th in Nominal GDP! Add huge oil and gas reserves to massive and varied mineral reserves including the recent huge Lithium discovery, weapons/drone sales to ~55 countries, long term economic and defence deals with Russia and China, standing allies/proxies in the region and expanding influence in Latin America and Africa, Iran is a pole in the new multi-polar world and Muslims are willingly or unwillingly coming to terms with this reality.
Iran has a strong popular ideology that the collective West is threatened by its capacity to grow, in fact African and none-liberal Latin American countries are not hostile to it! US is deeply unhappy with Iran’s presence in Latin America.

There is another dimension to all of this:
There is no way Saudis entered this deal without coordination with US and Zion! Both of these relatively new artificial countries are of the same seed! US and Zion are preparing Bin Salman to be seen as an independent individual to be accepted by his people after the imminent death of King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud who has been king since 2015. It is likely Saudis will enter Abraham Accord after their deal with Iran.
To think that Saudis along with UAE have been fighting and losing in Yemen on their own is childish some Iranians like me would argue, US has been orchestrating and managing the entire war just like the way it is in Ukraine.
So while US Zionists have had an interest in instability in the region, their illegitimate child Zion and their other illegitimate son Saudis are in deep manure and need more borrowed time.
