> Iran has torpedoed any attempts at normalizing relationships between Arabs and Israel
What about the recent peace/trade deals between Israel and UAE and Qatar? The Qatar one was most surprising to me because Qatar has excellent relations with Iran, partly due to their sharing of one of the world's largest natural gas fields.
So far it's been one step forward, one step back, due to Iran, see the now frozen rapprochement between Saudi and Israel. But thankfully all signs point to Iran's influence waning, which is now accelerating in part thanks to Israel ignoring the Biden administration's calls for another premature ceasefire that would only allow Iran to rearm their proxies and keep the untenable status quo that ultimately harms everybody in the area alike.

As I understand, this has nothing to do with Iran, and everything to do with the Saudis want a promise for two state solution before they will agree to a treaty with Israel.
