If I remember correctly, Saudi Arabia and Iran struck a peace deal this year, brokered with Chinese help. We haven't heard about Yemen since.

Surely Xi Jinping, MBS and Khamenei deserve the award for actual peace?

Yeah, that is three people we are told to hate. But they achieved actual peace.

Instead we get this Iranian woman that nobody had heard of before today.

Something is not right.

It wasn't a peace deal - it was a normalization of relations (aka they've reestablished diplomatic contact) [0]. Iranian and Saudi proxies are still killing each other in Syria and Iraq.

That's because of Oman acting as a mediator between the Houthis and Saudis [1]
