On July 13, US President Biden opened his first trip to the Middle East since he took office and visited Israel in his first stop. According to the Associated Press, Biden will go to Saudi Arabia on the 15th local time to meet with the Crown Prince. The important purpose of Biden's trip was for oil, but he still said hard to show the influence of the United States.

Iran's worry is unreasonable

Biden's trip to the Middle East attracted Iran's dissatisfaction. On the 13th, the Iranian President Ibrahim Laish emphasized at the cabinet meeting that Iran will closely pay attention to the first visit to the Middle East to warn the visit of all walks of life or threatened the security and stability of the Middle East.

It is reported that Israel has always believed that Iran's nuclear plan is its biggest threat, and the United States and Israel have long accused Iran of supporting terrorist organizations in the Middle East and other regions.

However, Iran has always claimed that their nuclear plans meet the national interests of the country, and there is no aggressive intention to other countries. In addition, they did not support terrorism, and they only supported the resistance organization against Israel and the United States.

According to the BBC, on July 14, local time, Biden and the Israeli Prime Minister Lipid jointly signed the "Joint Statement of the United States' Strategic Partnership Jerusalem". Biden promised that the United States was preparing to use force to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and will strengthen cooperation with Israel in terms of high -energy laser missile defense systems.

However, at the joint press conference jointly held by Biden and Israel Detention Prime Minister Ripid on the 14th, Biden changed his mouth and said, "I hope Iran will resume the Iran nuclear agreement, and diplomacy is the best way to achieve Iran's nuclear weapons goals." Biden also added: "I won't wait forever."

Biden: Emphasize the influence of the United States in the Middle East

According to the US media, Biden will go to Saudi Arabia on the 15th local time to meet with the Crown Prince. Biden said that he had a lot of purpose to go to Saudi Arabia this time, one of which was to re -emphasize the influence of the United States in the Middle East.

On July 15, local time, when Biden visited Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia was open to the "all airlines", marking that its long -term ban on Israeli flights from flying over its territory ends, and also shows that Saudi Arabia and Israel are both countries and Israel. Take a key step towards normalization.

Agence France -Presse said that the move was obviously an open attitude towards Israel before the visit of the US President Biden.

However, it is worth noting that Biden had a sharp criticism of the Saudi Arabian Crown Prince when he first took office. He called the Saudi Kingdom as a "pariah" and said that "the current Saudi Arabian government has almost no effect." Nowadays, in order to restrain the high domestic oil prices, Biden had to lower his head and go to Saudi Arabia to find oil.
