Aug 10, 2023 at 15:53 comment added user47010 Perhaps for Iran which has had until recently no ties with the US, Saudi nor Israel and remains fairly isolated; but it's odd that Israel and Saudi who both are arguable major benefactors of that U.S. "meddling" would be fertile ground for change. I don't think so. I don't think either believe they would be better off today if the U.S. was diminished. Their desires only extend to a change of policy, not a change of players.

Aug 10, 2023 at 15:20 comment added user47010 I don't think anybody trusts anybody in the M.E. much less China. And neither the US nor Israel have any relationship with Iran. Iran who is further antagonizing the west with piracy in the Persian gulf, and material aid to Russia in it's ware with Ukraine. I also don't know if either Israel or Saudi would be "satisfied" with a reduced role of the US in the M.E. which has frankly worked out pretty well for both. I think both sides want to alter current U.S. policy / positions they or their leadership has found irksom.
