I am not sure if Saudis really want to have good relations with Iran.
But if true, Saudis will find Iranians a willing partner. Currently they are improving ties not just with America but also with Gulf countries like UAE and others.
Iran is surrounded with countries skeptical of its intentions. So I think Normal ties with the countries of region is in the interest of Iran. Saudis however would like the status quo, where all regional countries along with international players like America stay on Iran’s tail. It is not just good religion-wise but also financially. Tension in region and less Iran oil in market mean better oil prices, which is what Saudi economy relies on.

I was replying to your assertion that somehow only Saudis benefit from high oil price. Iraq war not only flipped Iraq to iran’s circle of friends, but the increased oil prices also benefitted Iran. It seems that you are soft on the sectarian nature of Iran.
