Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi departs from Tehran after holding talks with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and other top officials, AlJazeera reports, citing his office.

During his meetings al-Zaidi reached agreements on international road freight transport and shipping as well as railway connectivity between Kermanshah, Khosravi, Khanqin and Baghdad, his office said in a post on social media platform X.

His visit to neighbouring Iran comes shortly after he returned from trips to Washington, DC and Texas, where he signed deals with Western oil firms to revive a pipeline that bypasses the Strait of Hormuz.
