Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf visits Iraq to boost strategic and security cooperation
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf arrived in Baghdad for a three-day official visit to strengthen bilateral strategic cooperation, regional security, and economic ties with Iraq. During meetings with high-ranking Iraqi officials, including President Nazar al-Amidi and Parliament Speaker Haibat al Halbousi, Ghalibaf emphasized the historic and inseparable relationship between the two nations and called for regional stability without foreign interference.
A key focus of the discussions was the management of the Strait of Hormuz. Speaker al Halbousi requested a 'special status' for Iraq to safeguard its economic interests regarding oil exports through the waterway. In response to regional tensions, the Iraqi cabinet has already approved mechanisms to export crude through alternative international and local channels to reduce dependence on the Strait.
Ghalibaf also addressed ongoing tensions with the United States, asserting that increased economic and military pressure would not force Tehran to accept concessions outside of existing agreements, such as the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding. He maintained that the Strait of Hormuz would remain subject to specific conditions regarding the lifting of naval blockades and oil sanctions.
