This evening.. Baghdad hosts the first rounds of indirect talks between Washington and Tehran, 18 OCT

 Baghdad Today – Baghdad

An informed political source reported on 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 that “the past hours witnessed an accelerated movement to conduct 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 through Baghdad, to ensure the transmission of messages and avoid more tension in the Middle East, especially with Israeli threats to target the 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,” noting that “the two parties are aware of the sensitivity of the situation, and that holding these talks, even indirectly, may lead to mutual steps to ease tensions and try to prevent things from sliding into an all-out war.”

The source explained that “there is a conviction that a comprehensive war with Iran will make all American interests in the Middle East vulnerable to targeting, which prompts US allies, including the Gulf countries, to support avoiding any all-out war, given the chaos it may cause beyond the borders of a particular country.”

He stressed that “Baghdad plays an important role in trying to create limited understandings on some points to avoid any black scenarios that may affect the entire region,” pointing out that “the first rounds of talks between Tehran and Washington will be held in Baghdad this evening.”

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