For the first time in seven years, Saudi Arabia and Iran have reached an agreement to re-establish diplomatic relations. But, unlike what many would expect, this time it has not been thanks to the mediation of the United States, but to the trending protagonist in the Middle East: China.
Between Iran's aspirations to weaken Uncle Sam's presence on its soil, Saudi Arabia's search for new security partners, and China's expansion around the world through a positive peacemaker image, many analysts consider The United States's dominance in the Middle East to be over, but is it really?
Does this deal really strike a blow to America's future in the Middle East? Will China be able to hold Iran and Saudi Arabia to what they agreed? Today we tell you about it.

In 2021, Iran and Saudi Arabia began a sporadic dialogue that was mediated by Iraq. Oman was also involved in facilitating diplomacy. But Tehran and Riyadh failed to reach an agreement in five rounds of talks in Iraq between April 2021 and April 2022. In late 2022, Iran accused Saudi Arabia of supporting nationwide protests sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini in detention. The following is the statement on the resumption of ties as well as international reactions.
China's involvement wasn't until 2023 and that was really just for the final talks. The hard work had been done by Oman and Iraq.
But it doesn't work at all isn't it...?
Not until a new global heavyweight stepped in and everybody start listening.
The problem I see here is that the root cause isn't even discussed. If a imam is executed in saudi (very possible in the future and sadly expected) or more unrest happens in iran (extremely possible and even expected) their feud can reignite. The root cause is still there, they both use force and theocracy to justify their regimes and power.
Correct 💯
The final talks tend to be the most important ones. As you pointed out they walked away from the table many times.
They literally called it off until china came
You never know right away with steps to peace and cooperation after tensions. In 10 years we will know.

U don't understand the Iranian regime.
Iran wants to "export" their islamic revolution and get more control over the region, So in the long run the agreement won't last until u remove the current regime
"Tentacles". Good to know so early what your framing and viewpoint of this is.
Bro , there is a an invention called toothpaste 🤣
@13:02 What is that machine he's pushing around?
VP is trying so hard to paint China's progress in the Middle East as insignificant. It only reveals your own insecurities.
US endgame with Middle East is regime change, partly about oil but mostly because they don't want the Middle East to become modern and self-aware enough to be the independent geopolitical power.
That's why any kind of peace deal is impossible before and any successful attempt would be ridiculed
@@albertp3721 They don't actually care about the oil anymore since they have sufficient domestic production is the thing. And quite frankly most of the people in charge are such out of touch despots that the only way for the countries to actually get better would be to reduce their own power.
"Rihad needs and will continue to need the US military industry, basically because it has no alternatives" (12:05) ekhm, Chinese? Russian? not as good definitely, but it IS an alternative.
As an American, I hope for peace in all countries. If China brokered the peace, good for them.
I don't think your government wants peace to all countries, some conflicts are in the US interests. The Israeli occupation in Palestine is the best example.
@@mazinal-siyabi2719 Honestly, the USA inherited the dinosaur bones of the fallen UK empire, and other than the fight against communism, we've stayed out of most countries affairs if they respected international commerce. I don't think the Israel Palestine situation is fair, good or morale, but the USA has supported them for many reasons right or wrong.
Imo it's only a matter of time till they're fighting again.
It's a good bet. I'm Gen-X and not once in my lifetime has the Middle East been quiet for five years straight.
They better figure it out, because once Green Energy gets big nobody needs them and everybody will leave them to themselves. Then they can beat their brains out or find peace.
Visualpolitik has huge envy for China , instead of How to counter China
Why do you want to counter China, or counter anyone for that matter? Many in the west still have a stick up their ass they can't seem to pull out.
You cannot counter China. China should be allowed to dig its own grave. All China has to do is make one huge error with its inflated ego.
Why counter china if you can do what China's doing but better? Its always counter china this counter china that, why bit just be better than China? So pathetic, always trying to knock china down a few pegs instead of trying to be better in the fields that china's dominating
Good video; I appreciate your news and history.
I can only applause this guy's determination not to brush his teeth, it has been years he passes by the the toothpase aisle and he is always " eeeeh, waste of money"
nothing more chaotic than your teeths.
And they all lived happily ever after...Hmm, OK, good luck.
I watch this show for years now but I never got over these teeth
It's only a masterstroke if it works. He could also be signing up for a world of hurt.
China didn’t commit much really. It’s not like they will put troops there to keep the peace. Plus the region has seen so much tension and conflicts over the decades that the starting point is pretty low, so more upside than downside, like the stock market
@@laimejannister5627 Somewhat. But China put some of it's prestige as a world player into this, so they may feel motivated to try and make it work. In fact this is the move that made them look like a player in international diplomacy, so if it fails, so does that image.
Plus China gets so much oil from the region that if tensions increase then China's economy is hurt.
@@laimejannister5627 For now. But as our troop presence (and their leverage) diminishes. . . . Looking forward to watching the next ME shitshow from the couch and really, really looking forward to the CCP taking it on the chin from their new "allies."
What do you think the costs would be? Chinese diplomacy is much more sophisticated than it is given credit for. The ease with which China is patronised is astonishing.
@@shakiMiki Sophisticated my ass. Amorphous, self-serving and non-committal? Yep. That pretty much describes it to a tee. One little flare up and 80% of China's oil stops flowing. . . and the USA sits back and laughs. I can't wait to see them try to deal with that mess.
The United States is slowly decoupling itself from the Middle East. We are still only there because our allies and partners are still dependent on the oil coming from there. The irony with China trying to strengthen and secure it's influence there lately still depends on the U.S. Navy to guarantee freedom of the seas and trade for everybody there, including China. Eventually, the U.S. will give the whole region to China because the U.S. will have greatly reduced it's interests there once clean energy technology is massively successful with the U.S. and allies. Fusion energy will not be far behind either. After that happens it will be the death of the oil oligarchy.
hahahahahahahaha
Delusions of grandeur
So basically the US is now realizing the middle East is just a a massive dumpster for resources, there is high risk of conflict and little to no reward. Therefore they want to move out of the region.
China sees that as an opportunity to get there and waste their own resources, and in their own stupidity they think they can solve an ancient hate among the arabic countries highly complex and rooted on religious differences, how they planning to solve this? with a TED talk...
I hope for the sake of China they don't even step foot because their economy is already showing signs of collapse why waste more resources?
It's true we have plenty of shorts, tank tops, and beer like the goddess isis brought to the world over here, but they've got plenty of bombs and missiles over there too, while well founded, far be it from me to disrupt such grand delusions of respite from the spectre of the night serpent apophis and the idiocy of the masses of men, when the fish of chaos from the primordial waters and the caves doth harken the quake of the sacred ibis in it's ceremony to the sun.
I'd sure like to have some of whatever your smokin 🚬 🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡
What substance does the deal actually have besides restoring diplomatic relations and cutting Houthis support?? I really doubt this will decrease tensions considering the animosity, distrust and lust for control both nations have while being so close together.
Saudis have already accepted Syria into Arab league. Yemen peace deal is in progress. This is huge because in both cases Iran and Saudis were on opposing sides.
@@Bothandle70 Syria…that’s not going to calm Saudi fears over nukes and Iran proxy groups.
@@Bothandle70 ok
Lots of good points made in this video, but I think the main premise is a little off. Neither or Saudi Arabia nor Iran can guarantee an energy supply to China because all that oil has to be shipped past a lot of countries that are not big fans of China.
They can build a oil pipeline through Pakistan
India is the only country in between China and the middle east that's against China. Which other country did you mean?
@@monosodiumglutemate8216 Malakka strait through Malaysia, but i do not think relations between China and Malaysia and Singapore are bad.

Ellos necesitan unirse y que 🎉alla Paz entre ellos para que gasten menos en Armas y Mas en infra extrutura
Those teeth speak soo loudly I hear nothing else.
This video probably strikes the right tone and as accurate an analysis as is possible today by the end.
I don't think it's parochial to say that all participants in the deal were at least partly motivated to show they could do something that pokes Uncle Sam in the eye while making a little profit while doing it. Not just differences but the conflicts SA and Iran are actively supporting and fighting are rooted in strong theocratic differences. For the two countries to make peace would mean overlooking one of the biggest religious schisms in all of human history.

7:18 I paused and sho' nuff! WTG, Grant. Funny af atm, tho.
It should be noted that with the World switching to green energy faster every day and the rebirth of nuclear power. At the same time fusion breakthroughs have actually happen in last year. That many in the Middle East know the West in particular will stop caring about the Middle East (treating it more like Africa) before the end of the century. This means the wealth and prosperity of the region is on ticking clock.
The funny thing is that the West will probably pivot to Africa in the upcoming decades as the world's economic and demographic driver.
Stupid and racist comment
@@badluck5647 wrong africa doesn't want them.

why will they suddenly just take the ships?, do you mean the US. or does US need india to take those tankers for them, why cant US just take it by themselves?
@@kimeli the US could easily take the tankers too. My point was that China doesn’t have a way to secure its energy demand. In a hot war, they’re done.

That part about Washington not lifting a finger in 2019 was a bold faced lie. At the beginning of 2020 the USA killed a high profile Iranian war general and took other actions. This was huge news and Iran accidentally shot down a passenger plane thinking they were being attacked. To say Washington didn't respond to Iran attacking Saudi in 2019 is embarrassing.

The Iran general was killed for supplying IEDs that killed thousands of American soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians. Glad he is rotting in Hell.
Although I would have purposely done just that to the Saudi's, when they get all tense with an American president.
We have let Iran develop nuclear weapons,embarrasing ,and the theocracy is the worst thing for the Iranian people. Iran has a long history but never in history has one nation taken another diplomats as Iran did. They deserve a millennia of pain.
Looking forward to your teeth whitening procedure to be completed on the right side. Left side is looking a lot better!

Haha because Susan doesn't matter...lol

Saudi vs iran is not sunni vs shia it is wahabis vs shia. There was no sunni uprising since the Ottoman Empire
IT all depends, if these saudis and iranians join BRICS, you never know. Lots of change is coming, the world is splintering and everyone is choosing which side to be on.
Completely ignore Israel in the equation of US involvement in the Middle East?

Good, educational videos make our life's easier....
Thank you....
i dont thinks this deal will last, i lived in the middle east for 2 decades it doesn't take much for the Arabs to go back on their agreements, they are all kings and dictators their egos r never contained. Iran is trying hard to get a life line from the economic sanctions and Saudi is trying to ensure his china client is secured, its not shocking money talks.
No one can guarantee energy independence with out the permission of the US.
The U.S. should let China have the Middle East and all its headaches and security issues. It’s doesn’t need it’s oil. Saudi’s are too dependent on US defense systems to burn that bridge entirely.
If a country relies on another country for anything there are no guarantees .
Getting hostile with Americans didn't make sense.
Honestly the only things they have are oil and the Suez canal. The US doesn't really need their oil, but Europe buys their natural gas and crude.
Really if the US just didn't want things quiet, then they could just leave and let the Saudis fend for themselves.
@@recoil53 Lots of people do not realize The US does not get much oil from the middle east anymore. I think its 12% now.
Canada and Mexico are the top exporters to the US for awhile now.
I think Canada is like 50% of their imported oil.
@@Crashed131963 The video said we only get 5% of our oil from the region. Seems like that can be replaced.
@@recoil53 I did a quick google search maybe it was from a few years back and the US imports even less now from the ME.
Chemical weapons are WMB which Iraq definitely had and used against the Kurds
which the USA gave to them.....
Peace is good for the region
The real story is "why didn't this happen sooner?"
The US has not needed Mideast oil for 20 years now.
Mideast oil has been critical for China for over 30 years.
So, deals between oil producers and China are overdue, IMO.
Then the Saudi's should be paying us for security instead of snubbing any US representative. They only have oil and the Suez canal to make people care.
Otherwise the world would let them kill each other if they wanted to, like in Africa.
It was never "usa needs oil", it was that USA needs that oil is traded with dollars.
@@Tespri It's much more complex and deeper than that! If you are interested in deepening your knowledge, you should read more books diving into the geopolitical & socio-economic ramifications and factors underlying the US foreign policy.
If Iran tests or deploys nuclear weapons it is likely that Saudi Arabia and Egypt will follow soon thereafter.
You missed one very important reason that all share, changing oil economy from US dollar to the Yen. Everyone has interest in it except the U.S.
Yen?
@@paulwally9007 Yuan
@@whiteflyingmonkey What the heck is that?
Why can't Saudi Arabia build up a professional military? Always depending on the US for national security sounds pretty dumb. They're basically a US protectorate.
That’s why nothing will happen without the US blessings. With 5 military bases in SA they could basically walk over and destroy every oil well in the country
It not they don`t want to built up own military they can`t US never allowed it any built up end up with leader assassinate (general, leader, list goes on). Military and weapon research need time and fund so Saudi instead of fight choose to support US supremacy basically tie US dollar to Saudi oil so US can`t cut then off willy-nilly. On other hand those not do so like Iran, Afghan, Syria you know how they are civil war, terrorist, separatist even train by CIA.
If you see not only Saudi but Japan, S.Korea even Taiwan also same military depend on US sales and bases.
Thing are changing this few years where Saudi MBS asserting itself from US so only time will they what gonna happen next 10 years.
@@stefano94103 yes, but they invited the US military bases by signing security arrangements with UK and US. I just don't get how such an oil rich nation can continue outsourcing its natural security in the 21st century.
@@chrislee5685 True about Japan, Germany, SKorea and Taiwan. However the difference is that those countries still need the US for their economies, in fact the US practically built up their economies and includes them in energy deals that are beneficial to them.
Saudi Arabia does not need the US or other superpower to protect it but they have somehow hedged their bets with US global dominance. Iran being under the most severe sanctions still maintain a credible military industry.
Saudi Arabia chose to spend their petrodollars funding anti-Soviet Jihadist. They spend Billions of dollars on low grade weapons that can't even stop Huthi rockets. They hired Sudanese to fight in Yemen...while a lot of the Saudi Citizens were volunteering in ISIS to fight against Syrian government.
They can't seem to do anything important US permission. I am not convinced that they are moving away from their US alliance. It seems more like they want to have more leverage so that the US don't bother them about "human rights", Khashoggi or whatever else. But time will tell.
@@ThisNinjaSays_ True, that why I see them trying to lower US levarage on them now. It depend on how Russia and China vs US and EU goes.

Remember that liberation came at the cost of lives many many lives and where's Iraq now? Not stable.. and the Libya liberation, not stable lives lost.. The west our progress requires blood and decimation of others... Sad😢
Middle East was pretty stable until Britishh pushed their big nose into the region. Ann rcheologist put her ruler on the map and created countries. Later a country was given to immigrants from Europe. What else could happen
Safavid-Ottoman border was drawn in 1639 and it is still the border between Iran - Iraq and Iran - Turkey. Last war between 2 empires was durüng Nadir Shah’s reign. There was no Sunni- Shia war after that. Ottoman side was stable for 400 years except for 1-2 rebellions (most botably Suudi rebellion).
I can't stand the VP history revisionism
It depends on whether the US keeps quiet or start meddling again

The Iranian crisis started in 1953 when the U.S. and the U.K. decided to overthrow the Iranian government. The U.S. and the U.K. did not like the fact that Iran wanted to nationalize its oil industry. Western greed is the root cause of quite a few of the world's problems. Moreover, conflict suits the West's arms industries. Maybe China will do better than the West in achieving peace.
Iran state sponsoring terrorist groups is what destabilized Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen.
😂
China has been funding civil wars in Myanmar for 40 years. Often multiple sides to keep the disruptive fighting. China is more self-interested and cynical than the west.
every country on earth has blood on its hands. that statement isnt to excuse what the U.S. did but blaming a country for something it did when none of the people who did it are alive is a weak arguement.
Im more pissed that the USA single handedly destroyed Iranian future by cancelling Iranian deal. Iran under Rouhani was as good as it gets with him telling the religious police to screw off. His presidency was short lived as Trump refused to negotiate and the conservatives in Iran took over. I blame the current Iranian government as well as the US government for the shit house that the country is in today.
Are his teeth getting worse?
I question China can keep teh Saudis and Iranians from each others throats for very long. And unlike the US, China can not project military power in the Middle East.
Yep, but maybe thats what China intends to start doing, they have started to train other countries police and is trying to sell their own weapons.
Doubt it will be more sucessfull tho, considering all the corruption in the chinese manufacturing industry.

Well hi there
If you look at USA's diplomacy, they have strengthened ties with EU, southeast Asia and Australia. They don't see middle east as a difference maker as west is moving away from fossil fuels and towards renewables. Their main target is China as they don't think peace with China can be achieved with diplomacy. They would rather try to isolate China as they did to Russia and go to war, if necessary.
issue is some of these countries have so much economic ties with China, they are reluctant to throw all their weight behind the USA.
Australia just caved and try to renegotiate a trade deal with China. France's Macron already said he wanted nothing to do with Taiwan issue after his visit.
Germany on the other hand, you have big Corp like Siemen and BMW rather divert their investments in China rather than the EU.
China is NOT Russia, Russia's GDP is lower than Guang Dong Province. If you look up top 25 largest Bank in the world, you will see China also have a huge influence in the finance Sector. While the US focus in the Middle East and SE Asia, China strengthen their tie with South America. Mexico is even building a NEW town for Chinese Companies and Chinese worker. Few of the S. American nation even joint venture with China on Space program.
Ultimately, everyone eventually Bow down to the Mighty Dollar sign, China is a Force to be reckon with, trying to contain them is much harder than Russia, or even the Soviet Union.
Henry Kissenger once said "Those who controls the Money controls the world".
Renewables is a smoke screen.
@@steak5599 economies won't matter if it really comes down to a war. Any EU countries not decoupling from china are doing the same mistakes as relying on Russia mostly before. USA has the prestige of being the world leader for the past century and they won't just let China be the new leader as evident by the trade restrictions and spying accusations. They will go to a war if China is able to overcome the technology barrier even after being isolated.
It's not renewables, it's the shale revolution. US no longer needs the ME.
@@steak5599 But how do things look in a decade?
The attraction of China is a relatively cheap but educated work force. But as China has become more prosperous labor got more expensive. Even Chinese companies are moving over seas to get ahead of this.
Countries are reshoring manufacturing. They have noticed the strategic weakness.
China has a lot of bad loans/government bonds. The population is also aging.
Also it only takes a couple missiles to take out some key pumping stations for the Russian oil pipeline and it's easy to interdict oil shipments from the Middle East.
Cutting off China, if needed, is not that tough. I don't think the US wants it to come to that, so the coalition is to get China to not do anything rash.
As for money in Central & South America and Africa, good luck with that. Of course they will take the money, they never had any loyalty to the US. But they aren't doing squat for China.
The speed of dialogue is unbearable. Make the video longer but please talk with less speed, I’m getting a stroke listening to you.
Hopefully some good can come of China’s intervention with Iran and Saudi Arabia. The recent prisoner exchanges between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis is an encouraging step towards stability in Yemen. The elephant 🐘 in the room being ignore to slight the US, is the China’s internment of Uyghurs. Hopefully some resolution can be made for them too.
Please tell me when China's involvement has ever benefitted anyone but China
@@BoycottChinaa China has NOTHING to offer the world other than money and manpower. Xi Jinping is vile, and a world with him as its most powerful person will be a nightmare.
C'est un site pour les nuls, c'est une POUBELLE comme site
Shia v Sunni Islam really is the mother of all conflicts
Nope. Not even close to catholicsm vs protestantism or Chinese jesus vs confucius
Although Allah cannot bring Shias and Sunnis together, but China can .... China Hu Akbar
