“No fresh round of talks was held with Saudi side in Baghdad”, Khatibzadeh told reporters on Monday in Tehran.

Some media outlets had reported that the two countries will hold new round of talks during the Baghdad conference on Saturday. 

The spokesman added that “three rounds of talks” have been held between Tehran and Riyadh, and new ones will be held again if necessary.

There is no deadlock between Iran and Saudi Arabia that cannot be resolved, Khatibzadeh stated, noting that it requires political will and action in the capitals of the two countries.

He also stressed that Afghan people should decide about their future and no nation or group outside the war-torn country should interfere in the process.

“We want the people of Afghanistan to decide about their own fate,” Khatibzadeh stated, adding “No force outside the geography of Afghanistan has the right to decide about the future of the country.”

He said Tehran welcomes the formation of an inclusive government in the war-ravaged country.

Referring to the recent shipment of Iranian fuel oil to Lebanon, he said “Neither the U.S. nor any other country is in a position to stop legitimate trade, It is a sovereign decision to sell our oil and fuel to any country or any customer.” 

Khatibzadeh also stressed that Tehran does not hold any direct or indirect talks with Washington, and the nuclear deal does not need any mediator.

“The talks in Vienna are between Iran and the G4+1,” the spokesman stated, adding that Iran has not yet seen any change in US behavior so far.”

He added that the two countries are drawing up a plan for active development of economic and trade cooperation to counter the oppressive sanctions of the enemies.

Amir Abdollahian continued, “We discussed the latest developments in the region. We believe that any political and security arrangements in the region will be achieved with the presence and participation of all regional countries, including the Syrian Arab Republic, and in this direction, we consider as important, the role of Iraq and Syria to help create new regional arrangements in the political, security and economic spheres.”

The Foreign Minister also said that the presence of foreign forces in the region will not contribute to security and lasting stability.

Amir Abdullahian also said, “Zionists are an important factor in regional insecurity. The Zionists have taken Muslims, Christians and even Jews captive in the historic land of Palestine. Undoubtedly, consultations and cooperation between the Muslim countries of the region play an important role in creating lasting security.”

Iran’s Foreign Minister noted that Iranian and Syrian officials took into consideration serious cooperation between the private sector and businessmen of the two countries during his visit to Damascus.

The Baghdad Conference for Cooperation and Partnership was held in the Iraqi capital on Saturday where the top Iranian diplomat was also present.

The Iranian news website, Entekhab, quoted unnamed sources as saying, It seems the host country had arranged the locations of the participants at a photo opportunity in such a way that Iranian and Saudi foreign ministers would be standing next to each other.

Dismayed at the arrangement, the top Iranian diplomat stood in the first line, instead. 

But it was not the end of the story as the United Arab Emirates’ prime minister, who had attended the event, reportedly took offence at Amir Abdollahian standing in the first line, so much so that the Emirati premier did not deliver a speech at the conference and walked out. 

As a result, an Emirati minister gave a speech, instead.
