Saudis come under pressure to find regional deal with Iran

LONDON: -- A day after the US announced fresh sanctions against Iran for ballistic missile tests Washington says flout UN rules, the EU announced it will discuss this week whether or not to impose new sanctions of its own.

French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius travels to Riyadh on Tuesday for talks with Saudi Arabia’s King Salman.

“We wish to see a warming in regional relations, but today this is not the case. We have seen significant tension between Iran, Saudi Arabia and other countries. And so we hope that the positive climate that has allowed the nuclear deal extends to other conflicts throughout the region. But this is not yet the case today,” he said.

The Saudis are pushing hard for sanctions against Iran to be maintained, but are facing pressure to find a regional compromise; leaders from China and Pakistan, and America’s John Kerry are all due to visit this week after Fabius.

The press are really busting a gut to put the focus on Saudi Arabia not Iran. The Iranian regime is insane and will break every agreement it signs, the ballistic missile tests are yet another example for all, except those fixated on seeing no evil.

Its post ex facto massage, and likely being motivated by the US and its cabal of MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction) architects in the middle east. The US knows it has lost great capital with SA but in order to continue pushing its bipolar shia/sunni policy requires an envoy to present a 'dispassionate" carrot to SA. The Saudis must know this is a bad cop good cop finesse.
