As for Saudia Arabia, it makes sense that they are broadening their ally group, as the USA is no longer as dependent on middle eastern oil. The USA is currently a net oil exporter. The oil they are importing is largely coming from us (Canada). US oil imports from SA are less than 1/4 of what they were at their peak.
It'll be interesting to see how this one plays out between Iran/SA. They cut ties 7 years ago. Even then, they were actively engaged in multiple proxy wars against each other. So resuming relations doesn't necessarily mean peace. it's obviously a massive win for the world if these two nations can stop their conflict.

That depends on whether or not they'll just immediately get involved in new conflicts elsewhere.
