An improvement in Iran’s relations with the West could also induce Iran to reconsider its hostility toward Israel, especially if accompanied by the reemergence of more moderate trends in Iran, perhaps following the death of current Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Progress on the Palestine issue could also influence Iran to reconsider its position. Perhaps China, which has just facilitated a restoration of ties between Iran and Saudi Arabia, might broker some tacit understandings between Israel and Iran as well.
