KSA recognition means Pakistan and Indonesia follow suit and then smaller Muslim countries will say if those big nations joined Israel then why not us ?
Before the Iran wars Mr Hussain Haqqani, of Memogate fame, who now lives in and works for the UAE, was pushing a similar line on Pakistan tv stations about Abraham Accords.
Read history yourself , especially the period from 1980 to present. You could also read about how the House of Saud conquered Arabia in cooperation with and upon the advice of the India Colonial Office.@Owaiz @Watandar
I am appalled by you guys trying to paint that House of Saud was Israeli / west supporter and Iran was anti-west / anti-israel. Well, how do you define below events then ? and how then you will support your fake narrative that arab states are puppets?
Arabs put a ban on export of OIL to Western countries While Iran supported Western countries and Israel.
1- In 1970s, United States announced a major $22 million military resupply package for Israel - OAPEC led prominently by Saudi Arabia's King Faisal retaliated hard. Putting complete blanket ban on export of oil to all western countries that supported Israel like United States, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, and other nations perceived as pro-Israel, alongside severe production cuts.
Iran’s Position During the Embargo
- No Participation: Iran rejected to join embargo against Western countries.
- Profiteering: The Shah aggressively pushed for higher oil prices within OPEC meetings but publicly urged the Arab states to lift the embargo, warning that it would damage the global economy and backfire on producers.
- Supplying the West and Israel: Iran continued shipping petroleum to Western countries and remained a quiet, vital oil supplier to Israel during this period.
So, read history before blaming arabs for being puppets. It was Iran, who was lifeline for the west and Israel for greater period of 20th century.
Not trying to be that guy but you know we are talking about Iran under the shah doesn’t have anything to do with today’s Iran now what the other guys were talking about I don’t know I just pooped into this thread for a second and I saw your post and sorry not really relevant with Iran today@Owaiz @Watandar

Its not the 1970s anymore why you bring up a world that no longer exist?No, I don't read selective history. I cannot discard what Iran was doing pre-1979. Also the point is if House of Saud was a puppet of west then how come it had so tough stance against Israel almost entire its history - and how come it led the oil embargo against collective West ? That oil embargo brought markets on their knees. and Its not just one time oil embargo, They did actions against western hegemony time and again. 1986 "Market Share" Price Crash etc.
So accusations made by you guys have no weight. Those are fake. Iran was more Pro-West & buddy of Israel than arab nations when it suited them.
Point is every country / leaders / regimes take decisions based on what "presently" benefits them. There is no Good or bad guys. If you get into this then you will find your universe upside down as your "Good guy" has enough sins under its name.
That embargo was the work of King Faisal only and resulted in his assassination. Before and after him the Saudis were the loyal puppets and implementers of the West, having been appointed to this position in the first place by the India Colonal Office, just all ALL of the other monarchs of the Middle East, except Turkiye.No, I don't read selective history.

Because Pakistanis have been indoctrinated to literally worship the holy al Sauds since the 1980s and some of them are feeling pain at the comeuppance of the Al Sauds.Its not the 1970s anymore why you bring up a world that no longer exist?

Yes you see it was the British/Europeans who created the modern region and drew its borders, not the natives.
You would know this is you had actually read a history book.
I agree it started going really downhill 2000s more than anything trust me we know these Arab “leaders” are disgusting the kids of the past generation have no backbone that’s all I’m saying about itI know 100%. But people here were painting a picture that arabs / KSA were always puppets of west and friends of Israel. They started from 1930s... Its quite opposite .. so If they started history 100 years ago. Then I must remind them what the history was. Arabs were totally against Israel and on other hand Iran rejected many moves which could have hurt Israel back then. Iran became life line of Israel when entire arab world and Pakistan were pushing against Israel.
Many of them even think "Saudi Arabia" has existed since the 7th century and not that it is a creation of the British Empire in the 1920's.
