Qaani in Baghdad.. An Attempt to Adjust Allies' Rhythm

Quds Force Commander Esmail Qaani made an unannounced visit to the Iraqi capital meeting politicians. The visit comes at a highly sensitive time witnessing severe political and security fluctuations regionally. Qaani discussed with Coordination Framework leaders mechanisms to exit the stalled government formation dilemma. Analyses indicate Tehran seeks to unify armed factions' positions to ensure its strong influence remains. These moves represent a clear message to Washington that Iran still possesses effective leverage cards. Attendees discussed ways to respond to recent American sanctions that targeted prominent Iraqi figures recently. Opposing Iraqi forces warn that this visit may increase the severity of internal polarization and tension. Iranian diplomacy seeks to prevent the naval blockade's impact from spreading into Iraq's fragile political arena. The Baghdad government remains in a critical position between American pressures and deep-rooted Iranian influence. The coming days will reveal Qaani's success in arranging the internal house of Tehran's Iraqi allies.
