Both countries want to reach a deal but the tension will always remain. Any potential deal will take a long time. Saudis want Iran to abandon its historical claim to regional predominance while Iran wants Saudi to accept them as believers but not as violators of the faith. It seems they cannot resolve their differences quickly but they can agree on interim agreement with no winners or losers scenario. But what will it look alike?

Saudi is aware that US has left the region and need other regional power for security against Iranian threat. Iran needs financial resources to restore its economy. For that it has comply with international demands.

 

 
International arena wants Iran not to subsidize the terror groups against Iran as well as leaving its support to Houthi group in Yemen. Moreover, Iran needs to ensure the energy route safety. For example, Houthi ballistic missiles and drones hit the targets in Saudi Arabia where wasted $700 billion USD as damage. It has costs Saudi Arabia to delay some of the Projects related to 2030 Vision Initiative.
 
Iran and US negotiations are ongoing in Vienna. It is not a chance that both Iran-Saudi and Iran – US talks are happening at the same time. US wants to be sure that any deal with Iran will make happy Saudis happy where as Riyadh wants their security concerns are met.
 
The differences are huge, political division are deep. Therefore, a compressive solution shall not be accepted. Instead, an agreement where it will serve both countries pressing domestic issues shall be accepted. It is likely that Saudis will be happy to see Iran opening its borders to foreign investors while getting all security guarantees for is survival. However, economic gains can be yield to policy change, not security guarantee. Whatever the agreement might be, Saudis will always have great concerns.
