This handout photo provided by the Iranian Presidential Office on July 23, 2026 shows Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian (center R) along with his delegation speaking with Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi (center L) and his delegation during their meeting in 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.
