Iran's embassy reopens in Saudi capital Riyadh

Iran reopened its embassy in Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh on Tuesday, Saudi media reported, months after the two nations agreed to end a diplomatic rift under a China-mediated deal.

In March, Iran and Saudi Arabia agreed to re-establish relations. The deal was struck seven years after Saudi Arabia severed relations with Iran following the storming of its embassy in Tehran during a dispute over the execution of a cleric.
