Expectations of an "elite" Iranian delegation arriving in Baghdad.. 3 files on the table
An informed source expected, today, Friday (November 22, 2024), the arrival of an elite Iranian delegation to Baghdad within the next 72 hours.
The source said in an interview with "Baghdad Today", "Tehran has indirect lines of communication through 3 Arab countries, including Baghdad, with the White House to convey messages and positions regarding developments in the Middle East and ways to prevent it from reaching the stage of comprehensive war."
He added that "an elite Iranian delegation may arrive in Baghdad within the next 72 hours to discuss Tehran's positions on three files, most notably Gaza and Lebanon, the importance of stopping the war, and its vision of the situation and the roadmap that could stop the tensions at a certain point."
He pointed out that "Tehran is very open to the issue of stopping the war as quickly as possible and pressuring Western countries, including America, in order to move the pressure tools on the entity and stop the genocide machine," noting that "all indicators show that the Middle East is facing rapid changes, and the language of diplomacy may be slightly higher for the first time than the language of war."
In a related matter, an informed source revealed, on Thursday (November 21, 2024), an Iranian message with positive content to Washington through Iraqi mediators.
The source said in an interview with "Baghdad Today", "Tehran sent yesterday, through Iraqi mediators, an indirect message to America about its vision for resolving the crisis and the dangerous escalation in the Middle East, starting with ending the war of extermination in Gaza and southern Lebanon, stopping the bombing in Beirut and seeking a roadmap with an international vision."
He added that "the Iranian message carried diplomatic signals in most of its lines, which means that it wants to reach a solution that ends the current conflict according to a vision with specific dimensions, while indicating that it does not want a comprehensive war, but will engage in it if it is imposed on it directly."
He pointed out that "it can be sensed that the Iranian military option on Tel Aviv has been postponed at the present time in light of undeclared international efforts to prevent the explosion of the Middle East, in addition to waiting to see the new American president and how he will deal with the files of the East and his promises to end the war."
The source said that "Iran has begun to tone down its rhetoric towards diplomacy, through which solutions can be reached that contribute to stopping the bloodshed, while declaring a firm position that it will not abandon the axis of resistance."
Iraq played the role of mediator in the indirect dialogue between Washington and Tehran, and contributed to preventing events from developing into a major regional comprehensive war. link
