Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani reported that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has voiced his kingdom's keenness for the reconciliation talks to enter the political stage.

During a weekly press conference on Monday, Kanaani stated that Iraq's foreign minister Fuad Hussein had contacted his Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir-Abdollahian following the recent summit between Arab leaders and US President Joe Biden in Jeddah in mid-July.

Commenting on the “good and promising results" of five rounds of talks between Iran and Saudi Arabia hosted by Iraq, Kanaani said that the top Iraqi diplomat told his Iranian counterpart that bin Salman announced on the sidelines of the Jeddah summit that Riyadh is ready for official political negotiations with Iran to start in Iraq.
