Isolation on the peninsula

Influence and domination of the region by taking decisions such as money and lobbies directly and indirectly with the West was one of the ways of the Saudi rulers, but with the coming of Malik Salman, Saudi Arabia’s expansionist thinking was publicly revealed, causing the country in the region Take actions that go beyond the tact and wisdom of the Saudi rulers.

The Saudi creditor’s spirit led him to break his path to his goals. There is no doubt that Saudi Arabia has always sought to undermine Iran’s prominent role in the international and regional arena, and the rulers of this country have no sense in their pursuit of this ambition to engage in reactionary and annoying political movements. Naturally, the continuation of such a trend in the future will be negatively affected by the deadlock in reaching Saudi plans in the future. Saudi political recklessness, which is largely irrelevant, stems from the mentality of Saudi rulers over Western support for Saudi action. But evidence suggests that Westerners such as the United States and Britain are cynical about the country, and arms sales to the country from the West have provided a more favorable background for Saudi Arabia and armed terrorist groups. On the other hand, Saudi rulers are required to buy weapons for more influence in the region and control of Iran. The country’s set of spending to meet such a goal along with today’s economic problems and the dilemmas of living in some of the less developed cities in Saudi Arabia will in the future lead to a decline in the political status of the Saudi family.

Saudi Arabia’s turbulent approach in recent years and its role in waging war and violence in the region have allowed the plundering of human resources and raw materials in the Muslim world to the West.

Al Saud, in fear of internal revolts

Given Saudi Arabia’s lack of development and the availability of such facilities as oil and economic benefits, Hajj rites and rituals and the violent behavior of the Saudi rulers in dealing with Saudi Arabia’s critical society, which mainly includes Shiites deprived of economic, cultural and social resources, It was expected that the people of this country would also provide a ground for political change in the Arab Spring, but the long-term interest of the West in the country during this period and the support of the Saudi rulers has led to the conditions for the popular revolutions in the Arabian Peninsula Has encountered many bottlenecks.

On the other hand, Saudi Arabia, which brings with it the leadership of the Sunni world, faces many challenges in the international arena in the current context. Naturally, there are problems with the realization of the realization of Arab and Islamic countries.

Since the advent of the Wahhabi phenomenon and the use of wealth, Saudi Arabia has been able to identify itself as one of the religious differences in the Islamic world, but the emergence of a hateful phenomenon, such as riots and violent currents like ISIS and the role of Saudi Arabia As an intellectual creator of religious terrorism, the low credit of the Wahhabi coin has spread among Islamic movements. The Grozny summit and the consensus of religious scholars to withdraw from the religious circle of the Muslim world have led to a severe dissatisfaction with the Saudi political and religious authorities, and at the same time it shows that the Saudi rulers must gradually oblivion the realization of the dream of the flagging of the Islamic world. To leave

Another challenge for Saudi Arabia is its attempt to open up relations with the Zionist regime. The travels of Adel al-Jabir, former foreign minister to the occupied territories and his conversation with Netanyahu, the prime minister of the occupation regime of Quds, and the ministers of defense and foreign affairs of the regime and the head of the Mossad, signal Saudi efforts to convert the Arab hostility to the Zionist regime against the Arab hostility to the Islamic Republic of Iran. Although Saudi rulers use large amounts of money and numerous media and satellite channels to justify such an action, it does not seem that such a long-term approach would be in the interest of Saudi rulers.

Riyadh, which last year’s attempt to restore its reputation in the world, has been severely under the pressure of Western media and public opinion in two stages. Once, when the United Nations officially announced that Riyadh had withdrawn its name from the black list of child custody in Yemen, again after the American security reports showed Saudi citizens have played a major role on September 11, these two issues in 1995 made Saudi Arabia the most significant hit.

In the Saudi economy, it tried to launch a full-scale oil war against Iran as the main rival in the region, but the country’s vulnerable economy, which in the new period faced significant declines in income and increased youth unemployment in the social sphere, the possibility of continuing the oil duel Has faced serious obstacles to Saudi Arabia, and eventually it was Iran that would have been victorious in oil diplomacy and Saudi Arabia had to restrict its production of oil.

Failure in Hajj Diplomacy

Another point was the impact of Saudi Arabia’s unsuccessful event on hosting pilgrims to the Battle of Al-Haram, which caused Iran’s refusal to send pilgrims to administer the Hajj and Umrah ceremonies. Regardless of the political implications of this Iranian campaign for Saudi Arabia, the absenteeism of Iranian pilgrims as one of the most active Muslim countries for sending pilgrims to Hajj and Umrah rituals has caused great damage to the Saudi economy.

Regarding the conditions of Iran and Saudi Arabia in the region, friendly relations between the two countries will be very important and will increase the security factor of the countries of the West Asia and the Middle East, however, to achieve a satisfactory level of relations for the two countries need to provide The prerequisites are, of course, provided with Saudi advance. Saudi disagreements with Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, and Syria can only be resolved if Saudi rulers make fundamental changes to their approaches. The rifts between Saudi Arabia and Egypt, as well as major differences with Qatar over regional and climate issues, are the challenges facing Salman. The government, which has so far shown that there is a lot of confusion in politics, does not have a disciplined and coherent approach. His behavior has exacerbated the political system in the country and provided the grounds for the departure of traditional, relatively calm, traditional policies, with the administration of King Abdullah’s time in the Saudi administration, and the replacement of tension and crisis and inconsistency in approaches. It is natural that in such a situation, it would be very difficult to talk about Iran’s engagement with Saudi Arabia.

Iran has always stated that it wants to establish good relations based on mutual respect with the countries of the region and has refused to make any attempt to express its goodwill. The political and economic interactions of the Islamic Republic of Iran with Kuwait, Qatar, and Oman, regardless of their position in the Gulf Cooperation Council on Iran’s sovereignty over the three islands, and … relatively calm and with moderation. Iran has always emphasized that taking into account the preservation of national interests, it will take advantage of its facilities to calm the region and fight against terrorism. This is while the Saudi approach is in the opposite of Iran’s policies. As long as Saudi Arabia’s position on terrorists does not change, conditions for reforming relations are not ready. On the other hand, Saudi rulers must avoid changing the way they do in the massive propaganda of tribalism, creating tension between religions and spreading hatred among Islamic countries, and encouraging young people to be militant and extremist, and without making these changes, the conflict between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
