Iranian commander Esmail Qaani arrived in Baghdad to meet with Iraqi leaders and discuss the Middle East war's impact on the country.
Qaani's visit aims to address regional de-escalation and its impact on Iraq, as well as to coordinate positions among Tehran's allies in the country.
The visit is part of Iranian efforts to support the path of understanding between Iraqi parties and bridge their differences, especially amid ongoing disagreements over the government.
The Quds Force chief's trip comes as Iraq struggles to maintain a delicate balance between its allies, Iran and the United States, amidst a political deadlock over the nomination of Iraq's next prime minister.
