In April 2023 Saudi Arabia and Iran’s foreign ministers met in Beijing to discuss reopening their diplomatic missions in their respective countries, to encourage visits of official and private delegations, and to facilitate visas for Iranian and Saudi citizens. They also agreed to discuss resuming flights between the 2 countries.

Yes
@9GWV2MR6mos6MO
Outside perspectives with a third-party governing system (meaning finances and opinions) can back anti-war ideas.
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
@ISIDEWITH1yr1Y
No, we should not get involved in foreign conflicts
@9GWV2MR6mos6MO
War is an issue for all, regardless of localisation. World Peace benefits all people and is in everyone’s best interest, so pushing to resolved conflicts regardless of our involvement is the moral and right way to go.

@9JHYPPS3mos3MO
Regardless, we must force the complete dismantlement of Iran's nuclear programme and keep Iran under enough pressure to contain it locally until its current government is replaced by one which respects human rights, frees its people, and does not threaten other countries.
@9J4FN733mos3MO
No. The UK government is inept and unlikely to ameliorate anything between these two countries. Any UK interference would only be to protect economic interests. Support peace by all means, but do not send any UK politician.
@9HSPMYPLiberal Democrat4mos4MO
Only in the sense of avoiding unnecessary loss of life, both sides are ruled by authoritarian governments with terrible human-rights records.
@9HPMNNM4mos4MO
If the British Government kept its nose out of the middle east there might be a chance for the middle east to sort out its own affairs. Our role should be humanitarian aid in a non-aligned context and mediation support.
Yes, and we should reduce sanctions on Iran while still exerting political pressure over huma rights concerns
Let them get on with it and stay out of it. Stop overestimating the importance of the UK in such and other world matters.
@9FR2SG27mos7MO
Yes but we should not be expected to expend any of our own resources or time to do so. Let them sort this out, this is not our problem.
@9FQSM5Q7mos7MO
We should generally stay out of such matters but in the case of these two counties we should take action on the disgusting human rights violations they allow in law
@9FLR736 7mos7MO
Yes, we should support peace talks between Saudi Arabia and Iran and other countries that are in conflicts but not impose or exercise any more power than is wanted.
@9DTSLNT8mos8MO
@9D587MY9mos9MO
No we made a mistake in Iraq and should not get involved in Middle East conflicts
@9D2PBVMConservative9mos9MO
I am wounding why is new Zealand Ireland is about live foreign policy which suits the country
@9CYNKWQ9mos9MO
yes but as long as it is in the favor of ourselves and our allies
No, we should not get involved with non-Christian countries
@9CJGKYN10mos10MO
No, a Christian country should not associate with Muslims.
@9CJDV7Z10mos10MO
Oh dear, are they at war? Stay out!
@9CG4DC710mos10MO
Yes, but we should be careful
@7F46CCVLiberal Democrat11mos11MO
No, both countries have ethical issues, particularly in fields like freedom of religion and womens' rights, and so we should stay out of it.
@9BYP4J8Conservative12mos12MO
Only if the UK will benefit
@9BY3VS812mos12MO
No we should simply conquer and "liberate" them
@9BTX993Conservative12mos12MO
Yes, we must promote diplomacy between the two regional powers, as well as use the opportunity to reaffirm our relationship with Arabia, and reassert influence of the west over the region above that of the meddling Chinese.
@9BT7RTV12mos12MO
Yes Saudi Arabia is a traditional ally of the UK
@9BC6WN91yr1Y
Stop getting involved in with other countries and focus on improving our own.
@9BC6MQL1yr1Y
Nothing to do with the uk stay out of the situation
@9BCRYLW1yr1Y
I think that's not our buisness
@9BCMHHK1yr1Y
Our government should only interfere if both sides in talk process want them involved
On the basis that women and children are protected and have full access to education and get health
@9BCKF8K1yr1Y
No, is non of their business
@9BCHNSQ1yr1Y
No because it may get worse between the two of them and drag us into a war
@9BCB54Z1yr1Y
Yes, however reduce our security relationship with Saudi Arabia and be wary of China’s motives as a “neutral” negotiator.
@9BC7FM71yr1Y
Yes support but not interfere
@9BD3FZT1yr1Y
It is not important to our country or government and should be dealt with between the 2 countries not us.
