IRAN AND SAUDI ARABIA: THE END OF CONFRONTATION?
On March 10th Iran, Saudi Arabia and China issued a statement declaring that Riyadh and Tehran reestablish diplomatic relations. This statement and the involvement of China came as a surprise for many observers. Whilst no one expects peace to „break out“ immediately some think that there is reason for cautious optimism. After all, a positive trend towards de-escalation can be expected. On the other hand Western observers are concerned about China’s increasing influence and soft power in the region. This public lecture addresses these questions from a regional and a transatlantic perspective.
