Summary

Last December 2022, Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian met with his Saudi

counterpart Prince Faisal Bin Farhan Al Saud on the sidelines of the Baghdad Summit II in Amman, Jordan.

Since then, Saudi and Iranian diplomats are said to have been in continuous contact behind closed doors in Baghdad and Muscat.

Saudi Arabia is reportedly keen on proceeding with the talks with Iran over several files.

Tactical Report has prepared a 263-word report to shed more light on the reported breakthrough in the Saudi-Iranian rapprochement.
