Iraqi Prime Minister Made Unannounced Visit to Tehran for Talks on Ending Iran-US War: Report
The talks focused on ending the US-Iran confrontation, and Iraqi officials said the mission was meant to reduce tensions and prevent escalation.
- On Friday, Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faleh made an unannounced, secret visit to Tehran to mediate between the United States and Iran, aiming to prevent regional escalation.
- The visit followed a telephone conversation between Zaidi and President Donald Trump on Thursday, November 5, as Iraq sought to prevent its territory from becoming a battleground amid the US-Israeli offensive launched February 28, 2026.
- During the discussions, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf presented Tehran's two-day plan, stressing that Washington must lift sanctions, end the naval blockade, free frozen assets, and terminate hostilities.
- Despite these efforts, sources indicated the visit failed to produce outcomes satisfying the United States; Iranian media disclosed the trip on Monday, with Iraqi Ambassador to Tehran Yasser Abdul Zahra al-Hajjaj confirming it.
- Ongoing hostilities have disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for international energy supplies and Iraqi oil exports, while Iraq maintains close economic and security ties with both Tehran and Washington.
