Reuters: Saudis kept U.S. informed on talks with Iran - White House 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia kept Washington informed of its talks with Iran to restore diplomatic relations but the United States was not directly involved, White House spokesman John Kirby said on Friday. 

The road map announced on Friday appeared to be the result of several rounds of talks, including some held in Baghdad and Oman, Kirby said, adding that the United States has supported that process as promoting an end to the war in Yemen and to what he termed Iranian aggression: 

"The Saudis did keep us informed about these talks that they were having, just as we keep them informed on our engagements, but we weren't directly involved."

WNU Editor: What can the White House say. The Saudis may have kept the US in the loop, but the Americans were clearly not invited to the table.

The US of course not invited. Why should they be? the US does not get to sit with every nation that decides to hold talks with another nation. I did not even get invited to your house for dinner.

Why would anyone want to talk with a nation that can’t even agree on what a woman is. The new global order is taking shape and we are not invited.

Why would the Saudis invite the Americans. The American intelligentsia (i.e. any liberal with more than a high school diploma) wanted to hang MBS.

If a squirrelly college grad like Samantha Power could badger, berate or nudge a guy like Obama to wage war, what possible change does Biden have?

Yeah, if I were MBS, I would not invite the flaky Americans either.

nation that realizes that it might well be oversimple to say there is Man and there is Woman and nothing nohow noway in any other way?

China brokered the real. The US with its Kerry's and Blinken's did not. How did that happen especially with Kerry being sloppy wet?
