and peoples. Well, despite the confirmation Abadi visit Saudi Arabia next visit to Iran yesterday (Tuesday) and then visit Kuwait on Wednesday had nothing to do with the current crisis , the Gulf, and calls it had been before the outbreak of this crisis but, in fact, will touch without doubt this crisis the brief and recognizes Abadi from his hosts and more on the details of this crisis and its causes and the prospects for solutions and compromises put forward to address and prevent the worst consequences of the continuation and aggravation.
