Report: Iran Invited to Join Mecca Pact

Mehdi Rahimi, head of the Iranian parliament's Khaneh Mellat news agency, tells Lebanon-based Al Mayadeen that Iran "has received an invitation to join the Mecca Agreement, and the matter is under review," calling it "a victory for Iran, because it has been calling for this for a long time." None of the three founding signatories publicly confirms the claim, and Rahimi does not specify which government extended the invitation or when.
