Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Thursday that Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi, currently visiting Tehran, may be carrying messages from the United States following his recent trip to Washington. Araghchi added that "the problem is not with the transmission of messages, but with the approach" of the US, according to Asaf Rozentzweig (N12).
During Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi's ongoing visit to Tehran, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that al-Zaidi may be conveying messages from the United States, following his recent trip to Washington. Araghchi emphasized that the issue lies not with the message delivery but with the US approach, according to Asaf Rozentzweig (N12).
Al-Zaidi arrived in Tehran on Thursday and met with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian earlier in the day, as The Zioneer reported. The visit follows al-Zaidi's official trip to Washington earlier this week, where he discussed bilateral ties and investments.
Araghchi's remarks suggest that while Iran is open to receiving messages via Iraq, it remains critical of US policy. The Iraqi premier is seen as a key mediator between the two adversaries, with Baghdad maintaining close ties to both Washington and Tehran.
