Iraq’s incoming prime minister has offered to help mediate between Iran and the United States, APA reports citing CNN.
Ali Al-Zaidi, who has been Iraq’s prime minister-designate since April 27, made the offer during a phone call Tuesday with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
Al-Zaidi’s media office said he had used the call to reaffirm Iraq’s support for diplomacy and dialogue. The two sides also talked about how to strengthen ties and agreed to exchange visits, it said.
The Iranian presidency said Pezeshkian had told Al-Zaidi that Tehran “does not seek war and is ready to resolve regional disputes through dialogue, including with Islamic countries in the region.”
