The USA reacted to the agreement between Iran and Saudi Arabia. The White House welcomed the efforts of the parties to "de-escalate" the tension in the Middle East.
Karine Jean-Pierre, press secretary of President Joe Biden's office, stated that the warming of Riyadh-Tehran relations does not change Washington's position on the Iran nuclear deal.
After a seven-year break, Iran and Saudi Arabia, with the mediation of China, agreed yesterday to restore relations. Relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia were severed at the initiative of Riyadh in 2016. The reason was the attack on the embassy and consulate of that country in Tehran and Mashhad, which was also condemned by Iran.
