US national security adviser Jake Sullivan spoke with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and discussed Iran and steps aimed at ending the war in Yemen, the White House said
between Saudi Arabia and Iran, the top regional powers in the Middle East, a process the United States was largely left out of.
"Mr. Sullivan and Crown Prince Salman also discussed broader trends toward de-escalation in the region, while underscoring the need to maintain deterrence against threats from Iran and elsewhere. Mr. Sullivan reaffirmed President Biden’s unwavering commitment to ensure Iran can never acquire a nuclear weapon," the White House said in a statement late on Tuesday.
Beijing's role was seen by some experts as signalling a loss of influence by the United States with Saudi Arabia, amid tensions between the long-time allies over a range of issues, including human rights and Saudi oil production cuts.
