About this listen

Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince met Iran’s Foreign Minister in Jeddah and while the meeting was officially about "bilateral ties", everyone knows there’s a war-shaped elephant in the room. With Israel fresh out of a bloody confrontation with Iran, and normalisation deals hanging by a thread, Riyadh’s next move could reshape the entire region.Why did MBS meet with Tehran’s top diplomat now?What does this say about Saudi Arabia’s view of Israel post-Gaza?Is China pulling strings behind the scenes to cool down the Gulf?And how far is the U.S. willing to bend to get Riyadh on board with the Abraham Accords?In this episode of Grey Zone, Ananya Dutta unpacks the diplomatic theatre playing out - from Netanyahu’s ambitions to MBS’ calculations and the quiet presence of Beijing in it all. Watch till the end to see why today’s handshake could echo for years. Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keJzmkJBCiw
