Iraqi President Barham Salih and Iran’s Supreme Leader during a meeting in 2018
Is the enmity between Iran and Saudi Arabia going to be history now? Although this is fine in the form of a question, it is too early to agree with it.
But both the countries have started talks with each other. Saudi is a Sunni-ruled Islamic country while Iran is Shia-ruled. This has also been a reason in the dispute between the two countries.
According to Iran’s official news agency Irna, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Khatibzadeh has said, “We have held talks with the government of Saudi Arabia in several phases over the past few months in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq. Good talks have taken place regarding bilateral relations. Good progress has been made in talks regarding the security of the Gulf.
According to Irna, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the problems and conflicts in the region can be resolved through comprehensive dialogue among themselves. He said that there is no need for any outside party to solve the problem of this area.

Why Iran Active?
Iran has been opposed to outside interference in the Middle East. On Wednesday, Saudi Arabia’s King Salman bin-Abdullaz, while addressing the 76th General Assembly of the United Nations, said, “Iran is our neighbor country. We hope that the initial talks will pave the way for concrete results in terms of building trust. Relations with Iran will be based on international rules, respect for sovereignty, non-interference in any country and stop supporting terrorism.
The talks between the two countries started in the month of April. The President of Iraq had said that Iraq is hosting the talks.
According to Iranian media, after meeting in Baghdad, representatives of the two countries have also met in New York on the sidelines of the 76th General Assembly of the United Nations. Iranian media says that on August 28, in addition to Iran’s Foreign Minister Hussein Amir Abdollahian, representatives of the foreign ministers of Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Kuwait, Egypt, Qatar and France attended Baghdad.
Iranian media also say that the EU’s foreign policy chief, the Secretary General of the Arab League, the OIC and the GCC also attended this meeting. The Iranian Foreign Minister said in this meeting that Iran wants good relations with neighboring countries. According to media reports, he had also said that solutions can be found only through diplomacy.

What does the Iraqi PM want?
Sources in Iraq’s Prime Minister Mustafa al-Qadimi have told Amwaz Media that the Baghdad conference was unimaginable for a time. The people involved have opined that such conferences should be held every year in different capitals. According to Iranian media, on September 21, a meeting took place at the residence of the Iraqi ambassador in New York. The next meeting is scheduled in Jordan.
Since the coming to power of Ibrahim Raisi in Iran, more enthusiasm is being seen about talks with Saudi Arabia. On 25 August, the Iranian parliament confirmed that the Iranian foreign minister had gone to Iraq on 28 August to attend the Baghdad conference in his first overseas visit.

Why is Iraq upset?
It is being said that the Prime Minister of Iraq had worked hard for this conference. One reason for this is also being told that Iraq is trying to show that it no longer wants to be a battleground but a bridge for a long time.
It is being said that the President of Iraq is seeking a second term and that is why he visited Iran on 12 September to get support. Although the Iraqi Prime Minister did not meet Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei during this visit, it has been a tradition since 2003 that the Iraqi Prime Minister used to meet the Supreme Leader on his visit to Iran.
It is being said that the absence of Iran’s supreme leader from Kadhimi is a message that Iran does not want to favor any leader in the Iraq election. There is pressure on Kadhimi regarding the election. Iran wants Kadhimi to make some positive announcements.
Iraq has allowed more people to come from Iran for the visiting Arbaine pilgrims. According to Iranian media, Iran and Saudi officials may meet again in Baghdad soon. It is being said that this meeting can be held on 27-28 September.

Shia Connection
The majority of Iraq’s population is Shia. As long as Saddam Hussein remained in power in Iraq, Shias remained marginalized here. Saddam Hussein was a Sunni Muslim. But since 2003, all Iraqi prime ministers have been Shia Muslims and Sunnis have been marginalized. Before 2003, Saddam Hussein’s Iraq was dominated by Sunnis. From the army to the government, Sunni Muslims dominated.
Shias and Kurds were marginalized during Saddam’s time. In Iraq, Shias are 51 percent and Sunni 42 percent, but because of Saddam Hussein, Shias were helpless despite being a majority. When America invaded Iraq in March 2003, Sunnis were fighting against America and Shias were with America.
Since 2003, Iran and Iraq have grown closer because the Shias are now ahead under the leadership of Iraq and Iran is a Shia country.
In 2018, the then US President Donald Trump broke the nuclear deal with Iran. Although Biden said after coming to power that he wanted to restore the nuclear deal, but no concrete progress has been made so far.

Dispute between Iran and Saudi
The conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iran has been going on for a long time. The two countries have been rivals of each other for a long time but in recent times the tension between the two has increased. The conflict between the two powerful neighbors has been going on for a long time over regional dominance.
Religion is also at the center of this decades-old struggle. Both are Islamic countries but both are Sunni and Shia dominated. Iran is a Shia Muslim majority, while Saudi Arabia is a Sunni majority.
This religious division is seen almost throughout the Middle East. Some of the countries here are Shia-majority and some are Sunni-majority. Some countries look to Iran and some to Saudi Arabia for support and advice.
Saudi Arabia has historically been a monarchy. Sunni-dominated Saudi Arabia is the birthplace of Islam and is one of the most important places in the Islamic world. So it sees itself as the leader of the Muslim world.
However, in 1979 it was challenged by the Islamic Revolution in Iran, which created a new state in the region – a kind of revolutionary theocracy. He had a clear goal of spreading this model around the world. Especially in the last 15 years, due to some successive incidents, the differences between Saudi Arabia and Iran have increased tremendously.
In 2003, the United States destroyed Saddam Hussein’s power by invading Iraq, Iran’s main adversary. This opened the way for a Shia-dominated government here and Iran’s influence in the country has grown rapidly since then.
