Iraqi PM concludes Tehran visit after signing transport agreements

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi has left Tehran after holding talks with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and other top officials, his office said.

During his meetings al-Zaidi reached agreements on international road freight transport and shipping as well as railway connectivity between Kermanshah, Khosravi, Khanqin and Baghdad, his office said in a statement shared on X.

As we reported earlier, Al-Zaidi said his visit reflected the depth of ties between the two nations, calling it “a bridge of friendship between the two peoples”.

His visit to neighbouring Iran comes shortly after he returned from trips to Washington, DC and Texas, where he signed deals with Western oil firms to revive a pipeline that bypasses the Strait of Hormuz.
