Iran, KSA, Iraq, Syria envoys hold meeting in Oman
IRNA- A quadrilateral meeting of the ambassadors of Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Syria in Oman was held in the Iraqi embassy in the Persian Gulf Sultanate on Tuesday, Iraqi local media reported.
The Iraqi ambassador to Oman has reportedly said that during the meeting in Muscat, he and the other three ambassadors discussed the major chances that are awaiting the regional countries in the light of peace.
The meeting takes place less than a month after top security officials from Iran and Saudi Arabia reached an agreement in China to restore relations after seven years.
Tehran and Riyadh severed ties in 2016 after angry protesters rushed into Saudi diplomatic missions in Iran following the Saudi execution of a prominent Shia cleric Sheikh Nimr Baqir al-Nimr.
Foreign ministers of Iran and Saudi Arabia are also expected to meet within the next couple of weeks to reopen embassies in the two capitals.
Spox:
Israeli existence based on war
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani has said that the existence and survival of the fake Israeli regime are always dependent on war, insecurity, and fomenting discord in the region.
Kanaani wrote on his Twitter account on Tuesday that the more the path of diplomacy and convergence is strengthened in West Asia, the more the adventurous moves by the usurping Zionist regime are increased, adding that the reason of it is quite clear.
The spokesman went on to say that the existence and survival of the fake Israeli regime is always based on conflict, insecurity and creation of discord in the region and of course there is no escape from internal collapse for the regime.
The tweet came following a recent wave of military raids on Syria, which killed more than a dozen people, including two Iranian military advisors.
