In order to reduce tensions in the Middle East and establish lasting peace, Saudi Arabia has put forward a diplomatic proposal that includes a comprehensive non-aggression agreement between Gulf states and Iran.
According to a report by the British newspaper Financial Times, Riyadh views this agreement as a long-term framework for regional stability and has compared it to the 1970s Helsinki Process. Saudi Arabia maintains that without building trust between Gulf states and Iran, sustainable peace in the region cannot be achieved.
The report says that several countries in the region are concerned that escalating tensions between Iran and Western powers could turn into a major conflict, the effects of which would be felt across the entire region. European countries have also welcomed Saudi Arabia’s diplomatic initiative and urged Gulf states to support the proposal.
Observers believe that this Saudi initiative could mark an important turning point in efforts to achieve long-term stability in the region, as tensions between Iran and Gulf countries have kept the region in a state of uncertainty for several years. In this context, if the agreement is implemented, it could not only reduce the risk of conflict but also open new avenues for economic cooperation and diplomatic relations. However, its implementation would require trust-building and prolonged negotiations among all parties involved.
