“You can’t beat something with nothing,” he said, urging Arab diplomatic and economic engagement “to counterbalance Iranian influence”.

He added that the US was ready to hold security talks to Iran in Baghdad but was waiting for an Iranian response.

Crocker was speaking after a week of testimonies in front of the US Congress on Iraq.
