“In order to decrease tensions and enter into a process of cooperation, Riyadh and Tehran must gain a correct understanding of each other’s national security threats. The cooperation option should entail Riyadh and Tehran to openly and without preconditions enter into bilateral dialogue and put all of their security concerns and aims on the negotiations table.”
“The Widening Saudi–Iran Divide,” Seyed Hossein Mousavian, Cairo Review, Winter 2018.
