- Saudi Arabia has discussed the idea of a non-aggression pact between Middle East states and Iran as part of talks with allies on how to manage regional tensions once the US-Israeli war with the Islamic republic ends, according to FT citing sources.
- "Riyadh is eyeing as a potential model the 1970s Helsinki Process that eased tensions in Europe during the cold war, said two western diplomats, as the region anticipates a postwar Iran that is weakened but still poses a threat to its neighbours. They added that the non-aggression pact was among various ideas being considered."
This could lead to a more stable Middle East, impacting energy markets and geopolitical risk premiums across currencies such as the USD and JPY, creating potential volatility in commodities like oil and gold.
