Iraq's Syria Visit Debate
Sources revealed that U.S. envoy Tom Barrack coordinated Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi’s visit to Damascus in late October 2026. The Coordination Framework and armed factions neither endorsed nor condemned the visit, and their silence was seen as a sign of acceptance. The talks covered rebuilding relations and security cooperation, as well as restarting the Haditha–Baniyas oil pipeline. An economic adviser said the pipeline could carry two million barrels a day and begin operating in less than a year. Al-Zaidi also donated $10 million from his personal funds—half to the shrine of Sayyida Zaynab and half to the Umayyad Mosque—drawing limited criticism from those who argued that Iraq had a greater need for the money.
