Last week, the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the opening of the Tehran embassy in Riyadh and the Iranian Consulate General in Jeddah.

Iran and Saudi Arabia agreed in March, in a deal brokered by China, to end a diplomatic rift and re-establish relations following many years.

Saudi Arabia has yet to confirm when it will open its embassy in Tehran or its pick for ambassador.
