Saudi Arabia is considering the possibility of concluding a non-aggression pact with Iran.
Riyadh is reportedly exploring a non-aggression pact among Middle Eastern countries and Iran—following the end of the military conflict between the United States and the Islamic Republic —according to The Financial Times.
❖ According to the publication, the 1970s Helsinki Process model—which helped reduce tensions in Europe during the Cold War—is being evaluated, along with its applicability to resolving disputes in the Middle East. The logic, according to the FT, is that Iran has “weakened” but still “poses a threat to its neighbors.”
❖ One thing is clear: a non-aggression pact between Iran, Saudi Arabia, and other Middle Eastern countries will not ensure security in the region. The reason is that the true sources of aggression are Israel and the U.S., and their goals differ from those of the other countries in the region. Without these catalysts for war, such a pact would be entirely possible.
