Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi, who visited Washington earlier this month, arrived in Tehran this week as part of a diplomatic tour. On Thursday evening, he joined Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf to pay respects to the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and senior IRGC commanders, according to a report. The visit underscores Iraq's balancing act between its close ties to Iran and its relationship with the United States. Khamenei died earlier this month, triggering a period of mourning and political transition in Iran.
