Iraq seems to be mediating the relationship, tarnished by Saudi's war on Yemen, between Tehran and Riyadh.

On Sunday, the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that its Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein discussed with Faisal bin Farhan, his Saudi counterpart, the reasons why the fifth round of Saudi-Iranian talks was delayed. The two, in addition, exchanged perspectives on the matters.

In a Facebook statement, the Iraqi Foreign Ministry said that Hussein affirmed that the Iraqi government will exhaust its efforts and invest in all its relations to create suitable conditions for understanding between Tehran and Riyadh. 

The statement said that the two sides discussed bilateral relations and cooperation and coordination in supporting the two sides' candidates in international organizations. Furthermore, they are to discuss ongoing tensions in the Gulf region, de-escalation, and creating stability and security.

The Iraqi FM affirmed his government's readiness to play a leading role in these matters, according to the statement, which concluded with the two ministers' emphasis on communication during "this sensitive period in the history of the region."

Yesterday, Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi confirmed in a phone call with Iraqi president Mustafa Al-Kadhemi Tehran's readiness to continue bilateral talks with Riyadh until a resolution is reached. 

The Iranian presidency affirmed that Riyadh must be ready to continue talks with Tehran very soon against the backdrop of an atmosphere of mutual respect and understanding. 

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh announced last month on January 10 that negotiations between Iran and Saudi Arabia will be completed in Iraq, pointing out that the next round is on the agenda.

He added that talks and stable relations will continue "despite the contentious issues between the two countries," which is in the best interest of both parties in the region.

The Iranian spokesperson had previously announced that "Iran's hand is always extended to Saudi Arabia, but this does not mean that it turns a blind eye to Yemen's war crimes."

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, Saeed Khatibzadeh, said in late September, "There is progress in serious talks with Saudi Arabia, especially on Gulf security," stressing that "these talks never stopped, and after my Prime Minister's government assumed its duties, it was completed."
