Saturday, 27 November 2021 (YJC)_ Newsweek claims that Russia is trying to reach an agreement between Iran and Saudi Arabia in the form of a security agreement in the Persian Gulf.
An American media outlet claims that Russia is trying to reach an agreement between Iran and Saudi Arabia in the form of a Persian Gulf security agreement.
According to Newsweek, Russia's efforts are part of an initiative called the "Collective Security Program in the Persian Gulf." Moscow updated and presented this plan in 2019.
Newsweek writes that the administration of US President Joe Biden does not oppose the plan, and that Moscow sees it as an opportunity to advance it on a common ground with the United States.
Vitaly Navkin, a researcher who also co-authored the "Collective Security Program in the Persian Gulf" and is currently chairing the Institute for Oriental Studies at the Russian Institute of Science, talks about the common interests of the United States and Russia in advancing the project. "We have a common threat, and that is the threat of war. "Neither the United States nor Russia is interested in this war."
A State Department spokesman, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Newsweek:
We are ready to cooperate with Moscow in areas of common interest while opposing Russia's anti-US policies.
A State Department spokesman said:
At the same time, we are in close contact and consultation with our allies in the Gulf on issues related to US national security, counterterrorism, defense cooperation, and regional security.
