Discontent in Iran over Zaydi's US visit
The article focuses on the Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaydi's visit to the United States and his efforts to transform political relations into broad economic and investment partnerships after the withdrawal of American forces from Iraq in September 2026. Al-Zaydi informed American companies that he shares "a common language — the economy," emphasizing the importance of economic cooperation to implement Iraq's developmental transformation and linking this to security and political reforms. Despite this openness, al-Zaydi faced criticism from Iran and its allies within Iraq, who described his visit as a political and economic turning point that requires reconsideration. Additionally, Iraqi armed factions threatened escalation following the visit, warning of potential repercussions. During the visit, Iraq also signed numerous agreements and partnerships with American companies, particularly in the oil and energy sectors, aiming to attract investments and improve the business environment. However, there is ongoing debate about Iraq's true readiness to benefit from these partnerships and their impact on regional balances.
