People are an expendable resource from the point of view of nations. Sure, the exchange is better for Israel. But over the last 12 months Iran has improved its position in the region while Israel has caused the next generation of Arabs to hate them and is now even becoming hated in Europe. Saudi Arabia is forced to not normalise with Israel and they're engaging economically with Iran. I'd say Iran is satisfied with the exchange, as long as Hezbollah survives
I dont know the reality but if Saudi is forced to do some thing than the revenge factors comes into play and they are way powerful any body else. what they publish just on this Ukraine war goes way beyond anyone else as if this is a training exercise and now they are directing people to rutube. They only put Europe into economic comma as they had that historic relations but it will not be for others.
Iran will have to demonstrate competence in that North-South corridor. When Russia talks to Iran its basically Sunni talking to Iran.
