- Saudi-US mining company turns to Iran
A US-Saudi mining investment program initially focused on African mineral supply chains is now targeting Central Asian resources to support Iran's postwar reconstruction.

Saudi officials emphasize enabling Iran to operate outside sanctions while rebuilding its economy.
