Iran and Saudi Arabia take steps towards normalization with embassy reopening.

An Iranian delegation arrived in Saudi Arabia to reopen diplomatic missions as the Gulf rivals prepare to normalize relations, seven years after an acrimonious split. The Iranian embassy’s main gate in Riyadh was reopened for the first time in seven years so that the Iranian team could inspect the premises. The flurry of diplomatic activity follows last month’s landmark, Chinese-brokered announcement that Iran and Saudi Arabia would work towards resuming ties.
