PM Abdul Mahdi meets Iranian President in Iran

Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi arrived in Iran on Monday evening for talks in a bid to ease tensions between Tehran and the West.

“The premier is expected to meet with Iranian officials to discuss the issue of Strait of Hormuz, especially after Tehran seized the British-flagged tanker Stena Impero last Friday,” an Iraqi official, who asked to remain anonymous, told The National.
