Geopolitics of the Middle East

Another interesting thing relates to China which is a dominant power. China is moving into all parts of the world including the Middle East, and they have made this deal with Iran and Saudi Arabia; very big deal. Saudi and Iran have been at loggerheads: Saudi the leading Sunni powers and Iran the leading Shiite powers, but hostile to each other. Iran's actually hit Saudi with missiles and there is a possibility of even conflict coming between those two countries. Yet now they've made a agreement to establish diplomatic relations again and they're both beholden to China.
