Abstract
There are various components to the widespread and ongoing tension between Iran and Saudi Arabia as the cold War of the Middle East. This conflict can be explained in the context of the profound upheavals in the Middle East and according to the series of events of recent decades until early 2021. Previously, strategies such as the 1986 Regional Security, the 2016 Regional Dialogue Forum, and most recently the Hormoz Peace Initiative, along with mediation measures, have taken steps to resolve the conflict but the escalation of the current tension indicates their failure. Now the question is that "How can the continuation and deepening of the conflict between the I.R. Iran and Saudi Arabia be analyzed? " In response, it can be stated that "Given the developments in the Middle East in the last decade, the Islamic Republic of Iran and Saudi Arabia are in a mutually annoying deadlock and the future course of bilateral relations will be catastrophic."  Using descriptive analytical method and library tools, the theory of conflict maturity can explain the recent developments in the region and explain the mutual annoying tensions and deadlocks and help test the hypothesis. The purpose of this article is to explain the conditions that can be the best time to negotiate and achieve peace between the two poles of power in the region. An explanation based on the structuring of conflict maturity theory.
