Secretary of State Antony Blinken used an unannounced stop in Baghdad to ask Iraq’s prime minister to prevent Iran from shipping arms or other equipment through the country into Syria, a US official said Friday.
The top US diplomat made the request protectively to Prime Minister Mohammed Al-Sudani as Tehran isn’t currently transiting arms through Iraq, the US official told reporters traveling with the secretary, asking not to be named to detail the diplomacy.
