Iraqi PM relays to Iran proposals from Trump for ending war
U.S. President Donald Trump has asked Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi to convey proposals to Tehran aimed at ending the war, Al-Arabiya television reported on Monday.
“A secret visit to Tehran by an Iraqi delegation was headed by the Iraqi prime minister and Trump expressed his approval of proposals presented by the Iraqi prime minister during telephone conversations,” Al-Arabiya added.
Iran’s Fars news agency meanwhile quoted a source saying that al-Zaidi had visited Tehran on Friday, where he met with Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. It noted that Ghalibaf emphasized to the Iraqi prime minister “the need for America to respect Iran's rights in order to move forward with negotiations.”
