China brokers historic deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia.

China's role in brokering a deal between Saudi Arabia and Iran to reopen embassies, resume direct flights, and restart security and trade agreements has been met with a shrug by the Biden administration, which sees it as a win for the United States. Better relations between Riyadh and Tehran mean less conflict in the region, which would lower the chance of the United States getting dragged into fighting in the Middle East. A more-involved China means the United States can focus on its national security priorities, namely defending Ukraine against Russia and deterring China from invading Taiwan.
