The restored ties between Riyadh and Tehran have reshaped the diplomatic landscape, which Trump will have to reckon with when he takes office again next year, said H.A. Hellyer, Middle East expert at the Royal United Services Institute. "Clearly Riyadh and Tehran are warming their relationship, and this is a very different regional environment as compared to when Trump was last in office," Hellyer said. "Trump may want to expand the Abraham Accords when he takes office next year, but unless Israel changes tack drastically in the region, that's going to (be) fraught with many more challenges than last time."
