Iran-Saudi Dialogue Crucial for Implementing Hormuz Peace Plan

Iran's regional peace plan could have a chance of being implemented in cooperation with Persian Gulf Arab states, if relations between Tehran and Riyadh were to improve, a political analyst says. 
"The first and foremost requirement for the execution of such an initiative is the resolution of political issues between Iran and Saudi Arabia as two major regional powers," Fatemeh Sayyahi wrote in an article published by the Iranian Diplomacy website. 
In his speech at the UN General Assembly in September, President Hassan Rouhani put forward the Hormuz Peace Endeavor proposal, which is meant to promote peace, stability and prosperity in the Persian Gulf region.
