Fourth round of discussions between the west and Tehran could have profound implications for the Middle East
High stakes talks to salvage the Iranian nuclear deal with potentially profound implications for the Middle East resume on Friday in what the French foreign minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, has called a “moment of truth” for relations between the west and Tehran.
The fourth round of talks have the capacity not just to reduce the risk of nuclear proliferation in Iran, but propel Saudi Arabia and Iran towards softening a rivalry that has darkened and destabilised the region’s politics for a decade.
