🇸🇦 Iran–Saudi Arabia relations

The bilateral relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia are complex and have been strained due to historical and ideological differences, including disagreements over regional influence, sectarianism, and territorial disputes. Tensions escalated in 2016 with the Saudi-led blockade of Qatar, which Iran supported, and have continued to deteriorate since then. The relationship remains tense, with periodic diplomatic incidents and proxy conflicts in the region.
