An Iranian foreign ministry delegation arrived in Iraq to help settle a standoff between the US-led coalition and Shiite Muslim radical leader Moqtada Sadr, an associate of the cleric said.

"We are going to meet with them, and they may meet with Sayyed Sadr," Haidar Aziz, who presents himself as a close aide and personal interpreter of Sadr, told AFP.

But the foreign ministry's director for Gulf affairs, Hossein Sadeghi, told AFP upon arrival at a Baghdad hotel that there would be "no mediation"

"There is no mediation. We are here to have a clear assessment of the situation to have a better understanding of what's going on in Iraq," said Sadeghi, who is heading a five-member team.
