Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faleh Al-Zaidi confirmed that he advised the US administration to avoid launching military strikes against Iran, emphasizing Iraq's vision to serve as a point of regional convergence rather than a battleground. In a press statement, Al-Zaidi
explained that economic engagement, rather than military presence, is the optimal way to build ties between nations. He highlighted Baghdad's efforts to establish a 30-year strategic investment partnership with the United States. Furthermore, he reiterated the government's commitment to combating
corruption, restricting arms to state control, and achieving economic development to create jobs and overcome the losses inflicted on the Iraqi economy by regional tensions.
