| The Shiite Safavids ruled Iraq in the late 1500s and early 1600s under Shah Abbas. |
| There was no change whatever in the situation of abbas Khan and Zra. |
| We need not say that abbas Khan and Zra were to accompany her. |
| Mr Abbas, however, said this episode should not lead to any rancour in the hearts of the people in the two countries. |
| As President abbas said, the table has all the options on it, yes, but almost none of them are good. |
| So here we are with abbas being the only one of three parties to this conflict still fighting for a two-state solution. |
