An informed political source reported today, Thursday (October 17, 2024), that the first round of indirect talks between Tehran and Washington will be held in Baghdad this evening. 

The source said in an interview with Baghdad Today, “The past hours have witnessed rapid movement to hold the first rounds of indirect talks between Tehran and Washington, mediated by high-level Iraqi elites, in an attempt to find hotlines between the two sides via Baghdad, to ensure the transmission of messages and avoid further tension in the Middle East, especially with Israeli threats to target Iranian depth."

He pointed out that "the American side is ready to hold this round, but it is waiting for the green light from the Iranian side," indicating that "both parties the sensitivity of the situation, and that holding these talks realize, even indirectly, "may lead to mutual steps to ease tensions and try to prevent things from slipping into a comprehensive war."

The source explained that "there is a belief that a comprehensive war with Iran will make all American interests in the Middle East vulnerable to targeting, which prompts the United States' allies, including the Gulf states, to support avoiding any comprehensive war, given the chaos it could cause that extends beyond the borders of a specific country."

He stressed that "Baghdad is playing an important role in trying to create limited understandings on some points to avoid any dark scenarios that might affect the entire region," noting that "the first round of talks  between Tehran and Washington will be held in Baghdad this evening."

An informed source revealed yesterday, Wednesday, that the White House has adopted a hotline with its embassy in Baghdad in preparation for indirect negotiations with Tehran.
