The absence of a well-defined approach toward relations with Saudi Arabia on the part of Iran could compel the kingdom to drift further away from Tehran and exploit circumstances to secure its own interests, an expert warned.
Tensions have escalated between Iran and its neighbor since 2015 when King Salman became the ruler of Saudi Arabia and opted for hostile policies against Iran.
The two countries eventually broke off diplomatic relations in 2016, following attacks on Saudi missions in Iran, and conditions took a turn for the worse with the appointment of Mohammad bin Salman (MBS) as crown prince in 2017.
