Well, here are some facts about Iran.
1) They have been in a
secret war with the US and Israel for decades. Riot(or "peaceful protest" in west MSM), started by brainwashed college students then turn to nationwide riots, nearly one in 2-3 years. Misinformation about Iran is everywhere. Both sides are throwing drones for this secret war, losing hundreds of drones a year. Agents and special forces are also fighting underground.
2) After decades of military development, the
Iranians successfully transform their army into something like PVA in the Korean war. Poor equipment, but good tactics (especially good when fighting against the US army in mountains or other complex terrains, like modern cities, proved in Iraq and Syria) and well-trained soldiers, mobilized by Islamic religions. Then they put their money on missiles. Abandon all aircraft but drones. In this way, they
do not need to develop expensive stuff like tanks and stealth fighters. This also
limits their ability to attack externally.
3) Iran's
economy is not in a healthy state due to endless sanctions by the US. Which is the reason why they have to abandon all heavy vehicles. Too many parts and key technology are blocked by the US. And Iran is not China which has enough money and ways to bypass or overcome these sanctions. Instead, they focus on drones and missiles. Iranians know they
need A2-AD ability, so they
produce huge amounts of missiles (more than 3k ballistic missiles) ranging from 200 to 1000km
and countless loitering munition. No sane leader would even think about attacking Iran with a land invasion nowadays.
4) if you read the history of Iran, you will know that it is
reasonable for Iranians to hate or at least be sensitive toward possible foreign intervention. The US and Israel do this for years as I said in 1). Their voice is just being ignored by west MSM. Most Iranians, from farmers to senators, just want all foreign interventionist motherfvcker to die asap. Only naive college students and traitors like them.
5) But
in middle-east, Iran is popular in many countries, for hate toward Israel is common sense in nearly every middle east country, for
Israel is nazi and just does the nazi thing to every country near it. Iran, by supporting anti-Israel(and US) forces not only with money but also real soldiers and military officers(at least 2000 military officers die helping their allies in the past decade), really save Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, and itself from genocide for if these countries fall, US military bases and possible endless harass attack will consume Iran to death. But the result is, just like what happened in China,
Iran and its allies have become the most powerful military faction in middle-east, with relatively small prices.
Many other countries (like Qatar) in the middle east are changing their side from pro-west to pro-Iran.
6) So
for Saudi Arabs,
it is necessary to find a new ally other than the Americans.
A powerful but less interventive one, who can make sure that Iran and Saudi have a place to sit and talk. Even better if both sides can benefit economically.
7)
And it just happened that China need a ticket into the middle east. Saudi becomes the one who put us into this circle.
I will say it is good for Saudi Arabs and Iran to find a place for a talk. Saudi Arabs make a really good move.
