A handout photograph provided by the Iranian presidential office shows Iraq's Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein (L) and Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi (R) signing documents as Iraq's Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi (C-L) and Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian (C-R) watch during a meeting in Tehran on July 23, 2026. The Iraqi prime minister 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.
