Sources told Al-Hadath channel that an Iraqi delegation visited Tehran and held an eight-hour meeting with senior Iranian officials, during which an American message was delivered. Before the visit, US envoy Tom Barak visited Baghdad, and US President Donald Trump spoke by phone with Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi. Barak said in Iraq that the future of the republic belongs to the Iraqi people and not to armed factions, referring to militias whose disarmament has been postponed until summer 2027. Prime Minister al-Zaidi claimed there is no place for militia influence, and Barak noted that steps to limit arms possession enjoy international support. The headline questions the existence of indirect contacts, but the body presents the visit as a fact.
