Iraq proposes regional committee to mediate between Iran and US

Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein has proposed the formation of a regional committee composed of foreign ministers from neighboring countries to visit Tehran and Washington. The initiative aims to reach understandings that could reduce regional tensions and promote stability.

According to a statement from the Iraqi Foreign Ministry, Hussein held a telephone call with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. During the call, Araghchi reportedly outlined Iran's perspective on resuming negotiations. This proposal includes setting dates for a negotiation process, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, returning to previous understandings reached in Pakistan, and addressing points related to Iran's nuclear program.

The two officials also discussed the potential impact of United States midterm election results on regional developments. Hussein emphasized the need for practical steps to contain tensions and prevent further military operations in the region.
