Saudi technical delegation in Mashhad to open consulate
IRNA – A technical delegation from Saudi Arabia has traveled to Mashhad, a northeastern Iranian city, to visit the Saudi Consulate General and review ways to reopen it.
The Saudi delegation visited its diplomatic places and embassy in Tehran in the past few days and traveled to Mashhad on Friday (April 14).
Nasser bin Awad al-Ghannoum, the head of the Saudi delegation, expressed appreciation to the officials of the Iranian Foreign Ministry in Mashhad, Khorasan Razavi Province, for their warm welcome. The Saudi official expressed hope that the revival of ties between Riyadh and Tehran would lead to further cooperation among regional countries and bring about prosperity for the region.

In Syria’s neighborhood, Lebanon’s Hezbollah, another ally of Iran, as well as other resistant groups, such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Palestine, have upset the balance of power in the occupied territories and have demonstrated their ability to deter Israel’s attacks.
Furthermore, diplomatic visits to Tehran and vice versa are underway. Political ties between Iran and China are stronger than ever. Tehran and Moscow have strengthened their political and economic relations.
All these developments are yet another sign of a tangible reality: Contrary to the wishes and efforts of some Western countries in cooperation with Israel, the Islamic Republic of Iran is not only not isolated, but has gained a greater role in regional relations.
This fact was also reflected in “The Times of Israel,” which emphasized that “Iran seeks to build a new Middle East”. According to the Israeli media, “The axis supported by Beijing-Tehran, in line with reconciliation and strategic alliance with Sunni Muslim countries, creates important security challenges for Israel and the United States”.
The current position of Tehran and its friends in the region is, on the one hand, the result of resistance to external pressures and, on the other hand, it is due to the revelation of lies and fabricated accusations against Tehran, which were propagated in the form of Iranophobia.
In fact, regional and extra-regional efforts to leave Tehran out of regional equations and relationships have been a failure because they were not based on reality.
