The Financial Times claimed in a report that representatives of Saudi Arabia and Iran held talks in Iraq on April 9 (ten days ago) and these talks will be followed up in Iraq next week.
Although the Financial Times report has not been confirmed by the officials of the two countries so far, what is clear is that if such meetings had taken place, it would have been completely safe and completely off, and the reason is even after 10 days the matter has been a secret report by secret media.
The fact is that Iran has always emphasized the need for good relations with the whole world, especially the countries of the region, especially Saudi Arabia. Two years ago, the Iranian foreign minister officially announced that if Saudi Arabia announced its readiness to improve relations, I would be in Riyadh tomorrow.
The Saudis, of course, tried to rebuild their cold relations with countries such as Qatar and Turkey after Biden came to power and after all their eggs in Trump’s basket failed to win the election, hence the “Alaa meeting” with the fence states. The UAE, Bahrain, Egypt) met with Qatar in Saudi Arabia and at the same time put a strong resumption of relations with Turkey on the agenda. At the same time, of course, he insisted on the West trying to gain a foothold in the nuclear talks with Iran. Sometimes it was not welcomed.
It seems that if the Financial Times’ claim is true, the reason for this should be sought in the circumstances imposed after Trump’s failure on Saudi Arabia on the one hand and Ansarullah’s serious threats in Ma’rib as well as the continuous rain rocket of Saudi positions by the Yemeni National Salvation Government.
– Some Arab and Western media outlets have confidently preferred to analyze it in the context of the Vienna nuclear meetings and play the role of Iraqi Prime Minister Kazemi, who recently returned from a visit to Saudi Arabia and, of course, has good relations with Iran.
