After the Qasem Soleimani assassination Iran officials learned the US can kill any of them. They got caught twisting the lion's tail. Now they want to change course.

There is always a fresh start. I am sure it will not go well with many countries who want to see Middle east in chaos and disarray.

@narendranath paul, Some nations like to see Muslim countries fight each other and enjoy the war. But all countries including Pakistan and India must join hands to combat hatred and war. It does not benefit anyone.

Their co-operation seems highly un-likely, SA is highly reliant on USA, unless, USA too comes on table nothing will materialize
There are decades of rivalry and it cannot vanish with one or two statement or gestures.

Great call to foster and strengthen unity, faith, dedication and discipline by the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran. However, in the corridors of power in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, who cares?
