Iran foreign minister in Baghdad for talks
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif meets with his Iraqi counterpart in Baghdad for wide-ranging talks, including on US sanctions against Tehran.
The visit comes just days after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made a surprise stop on his regional tour to urge Iraq to stop relying on Iran for gas and electricity imports.
Washington has granted Baghdad a waiver until late March to keep buying Iranian gas and power, despite reimposing tough sanctions on Tehran in November.
