The motives of the Saudi-Iranian agreement and the chances of China`s success

China`s role in mediating the agreement between Saudi Arabia and Iran highlights the shared interests of all three parties in reaching such a deal. The negotiations started in Iraq focused onto the concerns of key stakeholders. China`s diplomatic success in this matter largely depends on Iran`s commitment to the agreement and its ability to navigate internal and external challenges, particularly in regard to issues of sovereignty in influential countries. While there may be skepticism surrounding China`s intentions, the United States has a significant stake in the outcome of these diplomatic efforts, regardless of whether they ultimately succeed or fail.
