IRNA - A noted Iraqi analyst on strategic affairs said on Sunday that his country enjoys capability and means to act as a good mediator between Iran and the US.

“Iraq has balanced ties with both countries and can enter into dialogue through its diplomatic apparatus to solve outstanding issues,” he said.

While Oman lacks international clout as well as necessary tools while trying to solve the problem, Iraq is stronger than Oman in the international scene.
