Saudi snub of Biden over China-Iran deal could benefit US relations.

Saudi Arabia's recent deal with China to improve relations with Iran is seen as a snub to President Biden, but it may ultimately help the US strategy in the Middle East. While there are concerns about potential damage to US-Saudi relations and China gaining a foothold in the region, experts remain cautious about China's influence and Iran's unpredictability. The deal is largely centered around ceasing hostilities in Yemen, which is a key point of tension in US-Saudi relations. However, there is skepticism about whether China's diplomatic overtures will bear success given the tempestuous nature of the region.
