The information contained in the leaked documents also referred that the Brotherhood representative called on the IRGC to work against Saudi Arabia in Yemen by uniting their ranks.

"In Yemen, with the influence of Iran on Houthis and the influence of the Brotherhood on the armed tribal Sunni factions, so there should be a joint effort to decrease the conflict between Houthis and Sunni tribes to be able to use their strength against Saudi Arabia," the Brotherhood delegation argued.

Theleaked archive of secret Iranian intelligence reports obtained by the Americannews organization provide an interesting glimpse of the 2014 meeting on secretattempts by the Muslim Brotherhood and Iranian officials to maintain contactand determine whether they can still work together, after President MohamedMorsi was removed from power.

Oneof the most important things the two sides shared was considering Saudi Arabia"the common enemy" of the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran, The Intercept reported.

Theleaked documents, part of which was published by The New York Times, revealedthe extent of Iranian penetration in Iraq and Soleimani's visits to Baghdad insupport of Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi, and that Nuri al-Maliki is stillthe favorite Iraqi figure to Iran.
