A "big victim" of the escalating Israel-Hamas war "is efforts at Saudi and Israel normalization," Fred Kempe, CEO of the Atlantic Council, told CNBC.
Iran's mission to the United Nations has denied Tehran's involvement in the militant group's attack on Israel on Saturaday.
"More timely for Tehran is that it is looking to slow down Israeli Saudi normalization and through the attack, it might have achieved that," Vakil said.
With the Hamas attack on Israel, "it's very clear that Saudi Arabia will take a more gradual approach to normalization," she said.
And Iran is consistently messaging to its Gulf neighbors that any attack on Iran from Israel will lead to a domino attack on the Gulf.
