Is Iran feeling the heat or is this an attempt to mollify world opinion? As it has a Reuters byline, I'd keep my hand on my wallet...

RIYADH (Reuters) - Iran asked Saudi Arabia to help ease tensions between the Islamic Republic and the United States as Washington held out the possibility of "engagement" with Tehran if it changed tack in Iraq.
A letter was delivered by Tehran's chief nuclear negotiator to the Saudi King from Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a Saudi official said on Monday. The official said Iran wanted Saudi leaders to relay a goodwill message to Washington.
Iran would like key regional U.S. ally Saudi Arabia to "help bring opinions together" between Iran and the United States, the official said, but gave no more details.
