DEAD SEA, Jordan (Reuters) -Iran signalled its readiness for dialogue with regional states during a conference its arch foe Saudi Arabia attended in Jordan on Tuesday which yielded few signs of progress and no meeting between the two sides.

Iraq and France jointly organised the conference, aimed at supporting stability in Iraq and the wider region where Tehran and Riyadh, the leading Shi'ite and Sunni Muslim powers in the Middle East, have backed opposite sides in proxy wars from Yemen to Syria and elsewhere.
