On Friday explosive news broke that China had successfully concluded a secret peace agreement between Iran and Saudi Arabia. The plan aims to restore diplomatic relations by reopening embassies within two months. They also agree to restart their April 2001 Security Cooperation. Also back on the front burner is a 1998 General Agreement covering economic, trade, investment, technology, science, culture, sports and youth ties. It is well worth reading the entire statement.

The move signals Saudi Arabia does not want to be yoked to an Israeli "attack Iran Abraham Accord" coalition or open itself up to Israeli meddling like the United States. UAE, in congratulating Saudi Arabia and placing a halt on weapons purchases from Israel, appears to be questioning the value of its "Abraham Accord."
