چکیده English

The March 2023 agreement between Iran and Saudi Arabia, which took place with China's mediation, is considered one of the significant developments in the field of Middle East regional diplomacy. This development unfolded in a context where the Middle East has always been one of the most sensitive and strategic regions in the world due to its exceptional geopolitical position, abundant energy resources, and the presence of historical conflicts, placing it at the center of attention for both regional and extra-regional powers. In this regard, the relationship between Iran and Saudi Arabia, as two influential regional actors, has experienced numerous ups and downs over recent decades under the influence of regional rivalries, and has often been marked by serious tensions. The central problem of this research is to examine the impact of China's Middle East objectives on the formation and realization of this agreement.The main research question is: What impact did China's Middle East objectives have on the March 2023 Iran-Saudi Arabia agreement? The aim of the study is to analyze how China played a mediating role and to examine the consequences of this agreement on Iran-Saudi Arabia relations. This research addresses the subject by employing a qualitative approach and an analytical method, relying on data gathered from official documents, scientific articles, and credible international sources.
