Hopefully iran can help the saudis overthrow their brutal regime.
Iran and Saudi really don’t give each other much in regards of “brutal regime”.
Both countries executed hundreds of people every year, violently suppress dissidents, deny womens rights…
Say what you want about October 7th, but from a pure realpolitik perspective it was a brilliant foreign policy move on Iran’s part.
It is unclear how much it actually involved Iran. Also we need to keep in mind that China managed to get Iran and Saudi Arabia together into the BRICS. So i am skeptical how much this coopfration is by Irans design.
I hope that Saudi Arabia and Iran move towards a constructive cooperation. The West Asia and North East Africa regions cannot be shaped with ignoring eithers interests, which is a fatal or deliberate mistake of the Western countries, destabilizing the region.
That is not to say either regime is particularly “nice” to their people or people in the countries they exert influence on. But a stable external security and economic development can allow for more relaxation internally. The idea to keep on “regime change” by force has never achieved a better leader and often not even a better ally for the West in these regions.
A theocracy and an autocracy collaborating to contain a genocidal apartheid ethnostate.
I fucking hate the 2020s.
That’s an incredibly big step. These guys hate each other. I wonder how much of this is because of the formation of BRICS and how much is because of Israel.
This definitely seems like one of those “enemy of my enemy is a friend” sort of deals
Big if true.
