Fayyad al-Ruwaili, Saudi Arabia’s Armed Forces chief, is set to visit Tehran for talks with Iranian military leader Major General Mohammad Bagheri. This meeting, part of efforts to enhance defense cooperation, follows a March 2023 agreement to restore relations after years of strain. The visit occurs as Donald Trump prepares for a second presidential term, during which he advocated for peace in the Middle East and facilitated dialogues between Israel and Arab nations. The improving ties between Iran and Saudi Arabia could signify a shift in the region’s geopolitical landscape.
