The Deputy Chief of Lebanon’s Hezbollah Resistance Movement has said that the recent move by Iran and Saudi Arabia to restore diplomatic relations was a courageous decision by the two sides.

Iran PressMiddle East: In comments broadcast by Lebanon’s Al-Manar TV Network on Wednesday, Sheikh Naim Qassem said that the region is heading towards peace, stability, and political solutions, with the Iranian-Saudi deal being the most crucial case.

The Islamic Republic of Iran and Saudi Arabia, with the mediation of China, have agreed to resume bilateral diplomatic relations after seven years.

The agreement ended more than seven years of severed ties between Iran and Saudi Arabia, two key players in the West Asia region.

Following this agreement, Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian met and talked with Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan in Beijing.

"The two countries have agreed to work together on achieving political tranquility that favors themselves and other regional countries as well," the Hezbollah official said, adding that the agreement has changed the path on which regional developments were moving forward.

"There was an attitude that the Israeli regime was working to enter into an alliance with some regional countries to counter Iran; that attitude however was changed after the Iran-Saudi agreement," Sheikh Qassem noted.

"The Zionist regime is facing internal problems while the resistance front is developing and gaining more victories, and the crises in Syria and Yemen are being resolved," he said. "All these cases are examples showing that the region is moving towards stability."
