Iraq's Secret Trip to Tehran
Iraq's Prime Minister went to Tehran in secret. Qatar carried a reported deal to Trump. He called the war effectively over and kept the blockade.
Tuesday, November 10. Iraq's Prime Minister made an unannounced trip to Tehran on Friday.
Ali al-Zaidi spent several hours with Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of Iran's parliament. Ghalibaf also leads Iran's negotiating team. A source close to the visit says al-Zaidi carried a proposal from President Trump to end the war. On Monday Qatar's Prime Minister was at the White House, with Vice President JD Vance in the talks, carrying an interim deal that Tehran has reportedly signed off on. Within hours Trump walked into the briefing room. The fighting, he said, is all but done. The blockade stays where it is.
Baghdad carried the first message. Today: what came back from Tehran, why the Gulf wants the blockade kept on, and the man Iran is reportedly sending to run its embassy in Baghdad.
