Last Monday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh announced that Saudi Arabia and Iran had held the fifth round of talks, which was "comprehensive, good and serious", but it has not yet reached the stage of real political dialogue, suggesting the possibility of rapid progress if that is reached.

Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi had previously confirmed that the Iranian-Saudi talks, which took place in Baghdad, "reached advanced stages," noting that "Iraq played an important role in converging views between regional countries, by hosting the dialogue between Saudi Arabia and Iran."

Al-Kadhimi visited Tehran a few days ago after he visited Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, where he held a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Iraq has so far hosted five rounds of talks between Iran and Saudi Arabia in Baghdad.
