Muqtada al-Sadr: Riyadh serves as regional 'father figure'
Staff writer, Al Arabiya English Saturday, 12 August 2017

Muqtada al-Sadr, the leader of The Sadrist Movement in Iraq, stated that visions were aligned during his meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Jeddah last month.

Al-Sadr said that Riyadh serves as a “father figure” in its efforts to bring peace to the region.

In an interview with the London-based Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper on August 11, 2017, al-Sadr said that the two parties discussed several files of concern to the region, including Yemen, Bahrain, Syria, Jerusalem, Iran-Saudi relations, as well as Baghdad’s ties to Riyadh.
