Saudi Arabia Not Ready to Normalize Ties with Tehran: Amir-Abdollahian
2023-01-15
Not really surprising, given Iran’s idea of normal is that they rule the world. Conquering Iran was supposed to be only the first step.
[ENGLISH.ALMANAR.LB] Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian says Tehran is determined to restore relations with Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
but it seems Riyadh lacks the required readiness in this regard.

"Saudi Arabia is still not ready to return to normal relations. We have the needed intention and will to normalize with Saudi Arabia. If such an intention is seen in the real sense on the Saudi side, the normalization of relations will be quick and achievable," Amir-Abdollahian told Lebanese media in Beirut on Friday.

He said Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and Saudi Arabia have held five rounds of "important and positive" negotiations in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad and the two countries’ foreign ministers believe talks should continue.

As the first step, he said, the two sides’ consulates general in the Iranian city of Mashhad and the Saudi city of Jeddah should be reopened to provide necessary consular services to both sides’ citizens who are willing to travel to Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia and Mashhad and other Iranian holy sites.

The top Iranian diplomat pointed to his short talks with his Saudi counterpart in Amman in December and said both sides emphasized that the restoration of Tehran-Riyadh relations would have positive impacts on the two countries and the entire region.

Saudi Arabia severed diplomatic relations with Iran in January 2016 after Iranian protesters, enraged by the execution of prominent Shia holy man Sheikh Nimr Baqir al-Nimr by the Saudi government, stormed its embassy in Tehran.
