Iraqi FM proposes regional committee to facilitate Iran-U.S. talks

Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein proposed on Friday the establishment of a regional foreign ministers' committee to visit Tehran and Washington to help de-escalate regional tensions and resolve existing differences.



During a phone call with his Iranian counterpart, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, Hussein emphasized the importance of practical steps to contain regional tensions amid the ongoing risk of renewed military operations, the Iraqi Foreign Ministry said in a statement.



Hussein stressed the importance of maintaining communication and coordination among regional countries, particularly neighboring countries, in support of efforts to prevent escalation and consolidate security and stability.
