Saudi Arabia and Iran- There are two such forces of the Middle East, whose mutual enmity has been well known. But now the situation seems to be changing. For the first time since 2015, Saudi Airlines has resumed its flights to Iran. These flights are being run especially for Haj pilgrims. According to the AFP report, the Saudi airline named Flynas is now bringing Hajis directly to Saudi Arabia from Tehran and Mashhad. With this, about 35,000 Iranian Haj pilgrims will be able to travel directly, that too without chartered flight. Earlier Haj pilgrims used to come to Saudi with a plane on rent. Now let us also tell you how and when and when the relationship between the two countries went on deteriorating.
This is how enmity started
In 2015, there was a stampede during Haj in Mecca, in which 139 Iranian Hajis died. After this, there was so much tall in the relationship that in 2016, Saudi hanged a Shia religious leader al-Nimr, which was opposed in Jamar in Iran. As a result, diplomatic relations between the two countries were broken.
Religious differences are also a reason for enmity between the two countries. Iran is a Shia-dominated country and is the center of Shia Islam in the world, while Saudi Arabia is a Sunni-Bahul Muslim country. However, after China’s mediation in March 2023, the relationship between the two countries improved. The two countries signed the general agreement and then Iran re -opened its embassy in Saudi’s capital Riyadh.
In 2024, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia also met. In November 2024 too, Iran’s Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref met Saudi Crown Prince at an emergency meeting of Islamic countries. The two countries also invited each other to visit each other.
Both countries are now making a holy opportunity like Hajj of a new beginning. Religious trips are now working as a diplomatic bridge. Will this new friendship between Saudi and Iran last long? Will this bring stability in the Middle East?
