The American envoy is trying to negotiate with Iran.
Iraqi Foreign Minister Fouad Hussein announced today that the special envoy of the United States asked this country to mediate in negotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran.
In an interview with "France-24" channel, Hussein said that the situation in the region is in a state of "neither peace nor war", but he expressed hope that another war will not start.
Pointing out that many countries mediate between Iran and America, he announced that the visit of Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi coincides with the mediation.
The Iraqi foreign minister noted that the Iranian authorities are emphasizing the implementation of their seven conditions before the start of negotiations, and continued: American envoy Tom Barak spoke with the Iraqi prime minister about this.
Hussein continued: The Iraqi prime minister went to Iran after this conversation. The Iranians, however, have conditions. The release of Iran's blocked assets, Iran's entry into the oil market and the end of the American blockade were among Iran's conditions.
He considered the relations between Iraq and Iran to be strong and said: Iran used the Strait of Hormuz as a strategic weapon. The surplus of oil in the market makes the prices balanced. Therefore, the price of oil and passage through the Strait of Hormuz was part of Iran's weapon in the war. Iraqi oil is now exported.
