The Iraqi ambassador to Iran, Yasser Abdul Zahra Al-Hajjaj, confirmed that Prime Minister Ali Falih Al-Zaidi's visit to Tehran was of a special and unannounced nature, focusing on ways to reduce tensions and defuse the threat of war in the region. Al-Hajjaj stated in an official statement that Iraq is not on the sidelines of regional developments but actively participates based on its highest national interests under Al-Zaidi's leadership, dedicating diplomatic efforts to promote calm, prevent escalation, and enhance regional stability. Iranian sources indicated that Al-Zaidi visited Tehran last Friday, where he met with the Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, and the Iraqi delegation held talks with the Iranian negotiating team. The discussions concentrated on Iraqi efforts aimed at ending the war between Iran and the United States, without addressing other issues.
