Iraq’s PM in Tehran following report that he received message from Trump
President Pezeshkian officially welcomed the visiting Iraqi prime minister at the Saadabad cultural complex in northern Tehran shortly afterward.
Yesterday, an adviser to the Iranian president, Mehdi Sanaei, wrote on his X account that President Pezeshkian and his Iraqi guest will exchange views on regional and bilateral issues.
Earlier, Iraqi Shafaq News reported that al-Sudani had received a “special” message from Trump. It anonymously quoted a political source as telling the news website that Trump’s message had been relayed “through a special envoy during an unannounced visit” and pertained to what Western governments and media call “Iranian-backed” groups in Iraq.
Meanwhile, Iranian officials have not directly addressed whether or not the content of the purported message from Trump to the Iraqi prime minister will be a subject of discussions between al-Sudani and the Iranian officials he will be meeting with.
