Riyadh, Nov. 11,\u00a0(dpa\/GNA)\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Saudi Arabia\u2019s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman spoke with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian Sunday evening, the latest move reflecting the two countries\u2019 slow rapprochement since a deal last year to restore ties.<\/p>\n
Tehran and Riyadh\u2019s relations have cautiously improved since the China-brokered deal was announced in 2023, after a rupture of seven years that saw both countries at loggerheads in several military conflicts in the region.<\/p>\n
During the call, Pezeshkian praised Saudi Arabia\u2019s initiative to host a joint Arab-Islamic follow-up summit to discuss the Israeli aggression towards the Palestinian Territories and Lebanon, the Saudi Foreign Ministry said.<\/p>\n
They also discussed ways to enhance bilateral ties, it added.<\/p>\n
Also on Sunday, the Saudi military chief of staff visited Iran for talks with his counterpart, the kingdom\u2019s Ministry of Defence said.<\/p>\n
It remains to be seen how this rapprochement could affect Riyadh\u2019s ties with Washington after President-elect Donald Trump takes office next year. During his previous term as president, Trump said Saudi Arabia is an ally in the fight against Iran.<\/p>\n
Saudi Arabia was planning to normalize relations with Israel over a year ago in what was seen as a historic development that could profoundly alter politics in the Middle East after years of tension between the kingdom and Iran.<\/p>\n
However, talks have stalled amid Israel\u2019s war in Gaza.<\/p>\n
Arab and Muslim leaders are convening in Riyadh on Monday, for the second year, focusing on Israel\u2019s wars in Gaza and Lebanon.<\/p>\n
