Manama Dialogue Focused on Differences With Tehran

At the 15th edition of Manama Dialogue on Saturday, Persian Gulf Arab countries exchanged views about how to address differences with Tehran and deescalate regional tensions. 
Bahraini Foreign Minister Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa said that Manama is open to work with Iranian leaders and does not advocate a regime change.
"We look forward to working with the Islamic Republic on better terms," he said, stressing that it is also important for Tehran to work with its neighbors.
Bahrain cut all diplomatic ties with Tehran in 2016, citing the latter's alleged interference in its domestic affairs.
Al Khalifa said the way forward is a better deal with Iran in place of its 2015 nuclear accord with the world powers.
