They
say that there is never a dull moment in the West Asian region and it seems to
be living up to its billing. On 28 February 2023, the news of Iran enriching
parts of Uranium to 84 per cent purity had just caught the world attention
causing alarm on Iran possibly going nuclear and developing a nuclear weapon
when, another development, this time very positive, was reported by on 10 March
2023, stating that Saudi Arabia and Iran have agreed to resume diplomatic
relations after seven years, in a peace deal brokered by China. The agreement
includes a deal to re-open their embassies and missions within two months. The
agreement includes an affirmation of respect for the sovereignty of states and
the non-interference in the internal affairs of states.
