US regards Iran-Saudi Arabia deal as "very important moment”

TEHRAN, Apr. 17 (MNA) – The US regards the new deal between Saudi Arabia and Iran as “a very important moment”, according to US assistant secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs Barbara Leaf.

In an interview with The National, Leaf described it as a “detente, not a rapprochement or reconciliation … it is a resumption of a relationship that existed until the events of January 2016".

“But it would seem to signal towards a broader detente,” she said.

And despite the fact that the deal was sealed in Beijing, the US has been resoundingly supporting it — and hoping that it leads to an end to the conflict in Yemen.
