Iraq weighs Tehran ties
Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faleh Kadhim al-Zaydi is seeking to balance Baghdad’s relationships—not sever ties with Iran—by strengthening engagement with Jordan and Syria and reducing Iraq’s dependence on Tehran’s calculations. The steps have included al-Zaydi’s October 28 visit to Damascus, opening up to Syria under Ahmad al-Sharaa, and donations of equal amounts totaling $10 million to the Umayyad Mosque and the Zaynab shrine. The article presents this approach as an effort to serve Iraq’s political, security, and economic interests and keep pace with regional changes.
