A handout photograph provided by the Iranian presidential office shows Iraq's Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein (L) and Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi posing after signing documents in Tehran on July 23, 2026. The Iraqi prime minister is visiting Iran following a trip to the US where he met with the US president. Washington and Tehran are Iraq's main allies, but their enmity has long turned the country into a proxy battleground and left successive governments struggling to maintain a delicate balance between the foes, who have traded intensifying attacks in recent days.
