Although the item has been denied, that is good news if true. I believe that a good mediator can mend the rift between Saudi Arabia and Iran. And to think that they are both Islamic countries with people who are good followers of their religion, understanding and reconciliation is not a far-fetched idea. Pakistan would be a do-gooder if it successfully mediates between the 2 warring Islamic countries.
