Its not quite simple though because the second saudi ~~america~~ arabia thinks about pushing usa out the zionists and americans will start targeting saudi oil infrastructure and blame it on Iran.

When things like that happen the governments of those states don't genuinely believe it was Iran. They know it was the US/Zionists but they go along with blaming Iran because it's currently more convenient to use it as a pretext to agitate against Iran and gain "good boy points" with the US. Some of the population may be fooled by the media but the governments have enough intelligence capabilities to recognize false flags.

If they genuinely want to get out from under the US thumb and a establish mutual understanding with Iran for regional stability and security then they will have to start calling out the real culprits.

That is how you will know if the agreement was signed in good faith or not. Whether the Saudis are willing to engage in good faith that i don't know.
