Iran and Saudi Arabia re-established diplomatic relations under the mediation of China, and the situation in the Middle East has once again undergone major changes, "involving the whole body", just after the restoration of diplomatic relations by Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabia, on March 11, the Maldives said that it had decided to resume diplomatic relations with Iran in view of the reconciliation between Saudi Arabia and Iran after seven years.

Countries followed Saudi Arabia
After Shai announced that it would resume diplomatic relations, the Maldives Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement welcoming the trilateral joint statement issued by Saudi Arabia, Iran and China, and also expressed its position to resume diplomatic relations with Iran.
The Maldives' concern for the incident stemmed from the fact that its foreign policy was heavily influenced by Saudi Arabia, which announced its severance of diplomatic relations with Iran in January 2016, and as recently as May, the Maldives claimed that Iran had undermined peace and stability in the Middle East and severed diplomatic relations with Iran. In June 2017, Saudi Arabia announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Qatar, followed by the Maldives. As recently as March 10 this year, after the Shai resumed diplomatic relations, the Maldives said it would resume diplomatic relations with Iran. This shows that the Maldives is a staunch follower of Saudi Arabia and reflects Saudi Arabia's great influence in the world.

In addition, UAE Foreign Minister Al Nahyan also publicly stated that Saudi Arabia, which is like a brother and sister, has re-established diplomatic relations with Iran under the mediation of China, which is an important step towards prosperity and stability in the Middle East. Al Nahyan was positive about the news, affirming China's key role in it, and applauding the "Iran and Saudi Arabia" model. The Middle East region has always been coveted by countries with ulterior motives because of its large number of resources, if it has a problem first, then it is likely to be used, stolen benefits, not to mention, but also make the entire country in a state of misery, so peace and stability are not easy to come by, Iran and Saudi Arabia's model, may also be extended to other countries cooperation models.
On March 13, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko arrived in Tehran, the capital of Iran, for a two-day visit to discuss cooperation with Iranian President Raisi. This is also the first country that Lukashenko visited after visiting China and reaching a lot of cooperation with China, I believe Lukashenko will also mention that Iran and Saudi Arabia are getting back together with the help of China, and the cooperation between Belarus and Iran is also expected.
Shayi's seven-year-long ice has been broken, and a good start has been made under China's lead, which is not only recognized by many countries, but correspondingly more and more countries want to re-establish relations with Iran, which is a new situation in the Middle East.

Iran's predicament has been broken, and China, Russia and Iran have new ideas for their layout
Just after the joint statement issued by China and Saudi Arabia in Beijing, Safavid, the military adviser to the Iraqi supreme leader, had a new view of the layout of China, Iran and Russia, saying that the United States continues to create contradictions on the Taiwan Strait and Ukraine issues, and Iran should seize this opportunity to face threats with China and Russia. And he believes that China is constantly shifting its strategic focus from East Asia to the Middle East, while the influence of the United States in the Middle East is shrinking, the United States will decline, and the era of anti-American hegemony will come.
In fact, Iran's resumption of diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia is equally important to China and Russia, first of all, from China's point of view, Iran is the only way to the "Belt and Road" initiative, and Iran's influence in the Middle East is also very large, China and Iran cooperation can not be separated from Iran and neighboring countries peaceful and stable relations, in recent years many countries and Iran broke off diplomatic relations, which has a great impact on the friendly exchanges between China and Iran, to put it mildly, if Iran's relations with neighboring countries have been bad, It may even affect relations between China and Arab countries. Iran is also an active responder to anti-US hegemony, which is consistent with the position of China, Russia and other countries, so whether it is strategic or economic cooperation, Iran is China's partner, if Iran has a good diplomatic relationship, not only can more countries participate in economic cooperation, but even become a participant in anti-US hegemony.

Secondly, the relationship between Russia and Iran is also extraordinary, just on March 13, an official of the Iranian mission to the United Nations said that Iran has reached an agreement with Russia to purchase Su-35 fighters, and Iran has purchased several MiG-29 fighters since the 90s of the last century, and has not introduced any fighters since then, which also shows that Iran and Russia have close military cooperation, and on the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield, the Russian army's drones are said to be provided by Iran. And Belarus has always been a country like a brother of Russia, and Lukashenko's visit to Iran this time can also show that the layout of China, Russia and Iran has a new direction, and the accession of more countries will be the general trend.

On the road of opposing US hegemonism, China alone is not enough; now more and more countries see the situation clearly, abandon past differences, return to good, do not allow other countries with ulterior motives to take advantage of the contradictions between the two sides, and can unite towards the common path of prosperity and peace.
