Iran, Saudi Hold Talks On Lebanon, Iraq (RTTNews) - Iran and Saudi Arabia have begun serious consultations to reach an amicable solution to Lebanon's crippling political crisis and to end the sectarian violence in Iraq. Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the head of Saudi Arabia's National Security Council, visited Tehran on Thursday for talks with his Iranian counterpart Ali Larijani and handed over a letter from the Saudi monarch, Abdullah bin Abdulaziz. Later at a press conference in Tehran with Larijani, Prince Bandar said: "In talks we held today, we discussed the issues of the region, among them Iraq and Lebanon" adding that Foreign Ministers of the two countries would now pursue the "issues and agreements that were reached.'' Iran's Fars news agency quoting Lebanese sources said the two officials were working on an agreement that would end the Lebanese crisis. Their talks, which followed the killing of three persons on Thursday in Beirut during sectarian clashes, "emphasized the necessity of finding a solution agreed by all Lebanese groups." The two officials are reported to have discussed two main issues, namely the formation of a national unity government, where the Shia militant group, Hezbollah would have a greater say and striving for an understanding on UN-backed court that would try suspects in the assassination of the former Lebanese Prime Minister, Rafik Hariri. Tehran's envoy in Beirut also said that Tehran was mediating in a bid to bring Saudi Arabia and Syria closer over the crisis facing the Middle East. +++ -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
