Iran’s Zarif – who previously declined Saudi invitation – now in Riyadh to meet new king, as Obama cuts short India trip to visit Saudi Arabia
MIDDLE EAST EYE
Iran’s foreign minister arrived in Saudi Arabia on Saturday for a rare visit to the regional rival, bringing condolences after the death of King Abdullah, television pictures showed.
Saudi officials greeted Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif after he landed at a military airport in the capital Riyadh.
Iran and Saudi Arabia have had troubled relations in recent years, as they compete for influence in the Middle East.
Zarif has previously declined a Saudi invitation to visit the kingdom, citing continued negotiations between his country and international powers over Iran’s disputed nuclear programme.
In August last year Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian held talks with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal in the Red Sea city of Jeddah.
That was the first high-level Iranian visit to the kingdom since Hassan Rouhani became Iran’s president a year earlier.
They discussed the fight against Islamic State group, who both nations oppose.
Rouhani has stated his wish to improve relations with Iran’s neighbours, especially Saudi Arabia.
Since the June 2013 election of Rouhani, regarded as a moderate, Iran has engaged in a diplomatic push with Riyadh but relations have soured in recent months over the falling global price of oil.
Both countries are members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries but Iranian officials have expressed frustration at Saudi Arabia for not taking steps to cut supply.
Iran has been among the oil exporting countries worst hit by the price fall.
Rouhani expressed his condolences after the death on Friday of Saudi King Abdullah, who has been succeeded by his half-brother Salman.
Former Iranian president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, known for his strong personal relations with the kingdom, called the country a friend and said: “For the deceased I ask for vast blessings from God, for his family and dynasty.”
Referring to its new ruler, King Salman, Rafsanjani added: “For your excellency I wish success in consolidating the unity of the Islamic world, prosperity, coexistence and brotherhood of the two nations of Iran and Saudi Arabia under the lofty teachings of Islam.”
Obama cuts short India visit to meet new Saudi king
Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama has cut short his visit to India, cancelling a planned trip to the Taj Mahal, to “pay respects” to new King Salman in Saudi Arabia, the White House said Saturday.
Obama was scheduled to go to India’s famed monument to love accompanied by First Lady Michelle Obama at the end of a three-day visit to the country, during which he is to be chief guest at Monday’s Republic Day celebrations.
Instead, the White House said Obama would travel to Riyadh from New Delhi on Tuesday morning to meet the new Saudi monarch.
“The president regrets that he will be unable to visit Agra during this trip,” said White House press secretary Josh Earnest in a statement, referring to the town where the Taj Mahal is located.
Vice-President Joe Biden had been due to represent the United States in Riyadh, where dignitaries and leaders from around the world were arriving in Saudi Arabia Saturday to offer their condolences.
The White House said Biden would now remain in Washington.
Long-standing ties between the United States, an old democracy, and Saudi Arabia, an ultra-conservative monarchy, have strained at times, but the unlikely allies remain bound by mutual interests in regional stability and oil.
Full diplomatic relations between the United States and the Gulf kingdom were established in 1940 during the throes of World War II.

I am sure there won’t be any political change in Saudi Arabia… One puppet is gone and another one came to power. Only faces have changed but the system remains the same…
This is why Washington officials are so relaxed about death of the former puppet king…
Gotta keep that Zio-Wahhabi-US triumvirate going strong.
My Saudi friends tell me Salman has Alzheimer’s. I told them he will be the Jew’s own Arab (crypto jew) Reagan. Again, a perfect leader for the Jews to have in that desert gas station. A one that cannot even remember his fathers, if not even his own name. Cha-Ching, Cha-Ching.
…on the other hand, this connection from Iran could also mean the unravelling of the US cloak…recent posts by Wikileaks shine a big light on the US State Dept connection$$$$ ~ i don’t think it’s about the price of oil but the Solidarity of Islam. Esp in a day and age when Muslim allies are getting hammered by the EU and the US.
The Israhell SA connection could be shaken by BN’s slam of protocols and buddy Obama underdog appearance…
Several critical-thinking cues arise upon this news …
First, the real implications of this Saud’s demise can be best understood through the lens of Islamic Eschatology. 2015 was indeed predicted to be an extreme year of events. There is a high probability of the prophesised and UNSTOPPABLE Islamic Leader (Imam al Mahdi) to appear. He is the one that Rothschilds’ Zionist Christian evangelists have been demonizing for a while — programming Christians to believe that he will be the Antichrist! [Christians will make a fatal mistake if they Believe those lies.] Quite the contrary, he will lead THE spearhead Resistance army (the REAL Black Flag Army) that will destroy the Zionists’ awesome armies, one territory at a time.
For readers who know the portents … the key reckoning of that army (despite today’s media lies/ brainwashing) will be when a certain Sufyani army (which may well be ISIS) will attack the Mahdi’s army and will instead be swallowed by the earth!
The few who realized that the Jewlluminati are staging prophesised events ahead of time (e.g., they created the false Black Flag army, ISIS, before the real one arrives) … will realize how the Zionists are already prepared with technologies to even stage that kind of event to fool Muslims …
The entire Saud family succession business is extremely complicated (given Abdul Aziz’s 45 sons and the Sudairi 7 dominance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudairi_Seven , which is a key power link to ‘Nejd’ from where the Horns of the Devil were prophesised to emerge… and it did)! They are trying their best to make it ‘seem’ like everything is under control.
Prophet Muhammad (saas) prophesised that, in these End Times, there will be a few men like his Persian companion (named Salman) who will attain true Faith/ Imaan even if that was a mountainous task (thanks to Rothschilds, as we understand it today)! … Notwithstanding the metaphoric value of the newly selected king’s name, the main reasons for King Salman’s succession would be :
– To continue the same policies/ practices/ alliances that were so beneficial to the Zionist West.
– To ensure the Petro-Dollar sustains the same (it’s not time for the crash yet).
– To continue to sponsor and fuel ISIS on behalf of the West, towards destroying Syria and Iran.
– He was the Defence Minister, overseeing the National Security Council (NSC), overseeing the Saudi Intelligence … and he needs to keep holding the wheel and do everything to prepare for confronting/ destroying Imam al Mahdi’s (imminent) army …
NOTE : The recent hullaballoo about “No Go Zones” in the media … are actually a satanic ‘hint’ towards Makkah and Madinah … because the Antichrist Dajjal is unable to enter these sacred premises (he is Divinely barred). … That’s why the Jewlluminati allusions … because Zionists are PETRIFIED at the thought of Imam al Mahdi’s and Jesus’s arrivals !!!
Here’s a video that provides an eye opener (please watch till the END) :
Another reflection of what the paranoid Saudi Vise Grip State really is can be found from the ongoing “CIA/ quasi-Baghram -style drugging, psychological abuse and torture” that was unleashed on the dead Saud’s four daughters for simply speaking up against poverty and rights violations of Saudi citizens!
Even India (who hates Muslims) have declared a day of mourning, the Indian VP shows up with a team for the funeral! [NOTE : Obama was at the Taj Mahal. What does THAT mean?]
And just as we questioned here at TUT re: the Paris Rally … guess who DID show up now? …
Why was Prince Charlie REALLY there? … Well, the original Saud (Abdul Aziz) was not only a British Agent, but also a Full Blooded JEW! … So this, yesterday was actually a “Levaya” (Hebrew for Funeral).
And Charles was here because of a big (SECRET) reason :
