Iran and Saudi Arabia have resumed talks aimed at restoring ties between Gulf rivals and easing tensions in the Middle East, state-run Nour News reported, according to Bloomberg.
The “positive atmosphere” of the talks in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, could pave the way for a meeting with the foreign ministers of Iran and Saudi Arabia in the “near future,” Nour said, without specifying the date of the last meeting.
The fifth round of talks, attended by representatives of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and the Saudi intelligence service, followed the suspension of the process by Iran last month.
Saudi Arabia severed diplomatic ties with Iran in 2016 after its embassy in Tehran was set on fire in response to the execution of a prominent Shiite cleric. The two countries competed for regional influence, including in the war in Yemen, and clashed over Iran’s nuclear program.
