Political Turn: Saudi Arabia Welcomes the American Move Toward Iran

Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan released an official statement today expressing great appreciation for the decision of US President Donald Trump to "give diplomacy a chance to reach an acceptable agreement" that would end the war in the region. According to reports by Nitzan Shapira on Telegram and Aslan - The Arab World | Sapir Lipkin, the Saudi leadership views the initiative as a critical opportunity to restore security and stability in the Persian Gulf region.

The Saudis have set a clear goal for the requested settlement: a return to the state of "freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz to its status prior to February 28," according to the report by Nitzan Shapira. In Riyadh, they emphasize that the goal is to address all points of contention in a way that serves overall regional stability.

At the same time, Voice of News on 🆃🅴🅻🅴🅶🆁🅰️🅼, a channel demonstrating a clear pro-Israeli and pro-American stance, reported that Saudi Arabia called on Tehran to "take advantage of the opportunity to prevent a dangerous escalation." The 'Political Arena' channel noted that the Kingdom expects an agreement that will resolve all the disputes that have hindered regional security since the end of February 2026.
