Iran's foreign minister indicated yesterday his country would join at least part of an international conference on Iraq in Baghdad, marking the first U.S.-Iranian contact in more than two years.
Separately, Iraq's foreign minister said his government would oppose efforts to involve the U.N. Security Council in plans to stem the violence in Iraq, insisting his country would solve its own crisis.
The Iraq conference, to start Saturday, is meant to be a meeting of the war-torn country's neighbors to discuss calming the conflict. Baghdad also has invited the five permanent U.N. Security Council members - the United States, France, Britain, Russia and China - which Iran has objected to.
