Iraq's Role in Mediation
Due to its geographical position and historical relations with both parties, Iraq can act as an effective mediator. The Baghdad government hopes that this meeting will not only help reduce tensions but also create new opportunities for economic and security cooperation between Gulf countries and Iran. While previous negotiations had stalled due to deep disagreements, this meeting could be a positive step towards returning to dialogue.
Moreover, holding this meeting could send positive messages to the international community and demonstrate that regional countries are willing to move towards diplomacy instead of confrontation. This could have positive effects on regional economic and security stability and help reduce tensions.

Additionally, the internal situation of each country and political changes could influence decision-making. Therefore, the success of this meeting will depend on the political will and cooperation of the participating countries.
Ultimately, by hosting this meeting, Iraq could be recognized as a diplomatic hub in the Gulf region and strive to play a more active role in managing regional crises. This meeting could not only help solve current issues but also lay the groundwork for future cooperation in various fields.
