A handout picture provided by the Iranian Presidential Office on July 23, 2026, shows Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian (R) and Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi during a welcome ceremony in the Iranian capital Tehran. Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi is visiting Iran following a trip to the US where he met with the US President. Washington and Tehran are Iraq's main allies, but their enmity has long turned the country into a proxy battleground and left successive governments struggling to maintain a delicate balance between the foes, who have traded intensifying attacks in recent days.
