Saudi Arabia has executed the most successful geopolitical pivot of any major power since Egypt’s 1972 expulsion of Soviet advisers. In the space of 36 months, Riyadh has transformed itself from a status quo, risk-averse rentier ally into the single most indispensable interlocutor in the Middle East – the only actor that currently possesses meaningful leverage over Washington, Tehran, and Jerusalem simultaneously.
Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman now enjoys greater strategic latitude than any Saudi leader in history. The 2023 China-brokered detente with Iran, the quiet but robust defense-industrial partnership with Pakistan, Riyadh’s retained credibility in Jerusalem, and – most dramatically – President Trump’s designation of Saudi Arabia as a Major non-NATO Ally (announced yesterday with MBS at the White House) have combined to place the Crown Prince in a position no Arab leader has occupied since Egypt’s Pan-Arabist leader Gamal Abdel Nasser in the 1950s.
**Just hours before boarding his flight to Washington, Iran’s President Massoud Pezeshkian had a personal letter hand-delivered to MBS – an unmistakable strategic signal of respect and recognition of the Crown Prince’s newly acquired centrality.**
This unique positioning creates what may be the final non-military offramp to a genuine strategic accommodation between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran before the region slides into confrontation.
