Iran parliament speaker Ghalibaf in Iraq for talks • FRANCE 24 English

Iran's parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who led negotiations with the United States to end the Middle East war, arrived in Baghdad on Wednesday for talks. Ghalibaf will head "a high-level parliamentary delegation to discuss regional developments" and "strengthen strategic cooperation between Tehran and Baghdad," Iran's Fars news agency said. The visit comes as Iraq faces pressure from Washington to disarm powerful Iran-backed armed factions, which have built considerable political and financial clout in the country.
