Iran and Saudi Officials in Talks in Iraq
Posted by Scott Lucas | Apr 19, 2021 |
Senior officials of Iran and Saudi Arabia, who have been in conflict throughout the region, have held talks in Iraq’s capital Baghdad.
People briefed on the discussions said the “positive” encounter was on April 9. One official said the Saudi delegation was led by head of intelligence Khalid bin Ali al-Humaidan.
Topics included attacks on Saudi Arabia by Yemen’s Iran-backed insurgency Ansar Allah (Houthis). The sources said a second round of talks has been scheduled.
Neither Iran nor Saudi Arabia has officially commented on the report. A “senior Saudi official” rejected it, and Lebanon’s pro-Iran outlets Al Mayadeen and Unews both cited the denial of an Iranian source.
