❗️Iraqi PM makes unannounced Tehran visit to push diplomatic initiative as US aggression against Iran continues Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi conducted a unannounced visit to Tehran on Friday to hold diplomatic talks aimed at ending the US-Iranian military confrontation. During the several-hour visit, Zaidi met with Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, head of Iran’s negotiating team and parliament speaker, to discuss Baghdad's diplomatic mediation. According to Iran’s Fars News Agency, the discussions focused on regional diplomatic initiatives, with Qalibaf emphasizing that Washington must respect Iran's rights under Tehran's framework to advance negotiations. The quiet diplomatic push coincided with statements on Monday from Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei, who clarified to reporters that while Tehran has not submitted a new proposal, its existing "two-day plan" remains active on the negotiating table. Baghaei reiterated that any sustainable resolution requires the immediate termination of the illegal US naval blockade, the complete lifting of unilateral economic sanctions, the unfreezing of Iranian state assets, and a permanent cessation of hostilities. Baghdad's mediation comes as regional governments push to de-escalate the broader regional crisis triggered by the joint US-Israeli war initiated on 28 February, which has severely disrupted maritime traffic and regional security.
