After being closed for seven years, Iran’s embassy in Saudi Arabia has opened its doors again. The embassy had been shut down since 2016 when Saudi Arabia cut ties with Iran over the storming of its embassy in Tehran. The reopening of the embassy marks a significant step towards easing tensions between the two countries, which have been locked in a bitter rivalry for decades. The move comes after months of secret talks between Iran and Saudi Arabia, with both sides expressing a desire to improve relations.
