Saudi Arabia and Iran agreed to reopen their embassies on Thursday after their foreign ministers met in China
China has been playing mediator in the ME for a while. The only one not seeing this was the organization trying to get US into a war with China and Russia.
I’ll bet you thought predicting stuff like this was the CIA’s job.
It’s job from the beginning is to foment revolution. You know like killing presidents from…various countries.
CIA Director William Burns visited Saudi Arabia earlier this week to express frustration over Riyadh’s surprise normalization deal with Tehran that was brokered by Beijing, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
According to the Journal, Burns told Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman that the US “has felt blindsided” by Riyadh’s rapprochement with Iran as well as Syria, two nations under crippling US economic sanctions.
Following the deal with Iran, Saudi Arabia is poised to normalize with Syria. Riyadh is expected to invite Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to an Arab League summit it’s hosting in May. The Biden administration is against regional countries upgrading ties with Syria as it prefers to keep the country isolated as US policy is to prevent reconstruction.
A US official told Reuters that Burns also discussed intelligence cooperation with Riyadh. “The director reinforced our commitment to intelligence cooperation especially in areas of counterterrorism,” the official said.
Be seeing you
