Iraq: Al-Zaidi tells Trump he rejects attacks on neighbours from Iraqi territory
Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi reiterated to Donald Trump on 5 November 2026 that Iraq rejects the use of its territory to attack neighbouring states, according to his office’s readout.
The call covered regional developments, security and bilateral coordination. Baghdad says the discussion prioritised dialogue and diplomacy to contain tensions.
The readout sets out the Iraqi government’s stated position. It does not demonstrate that armed groups have halted operations or specify new enforcement measures. The Arabic and English reports reviewed rely on the same communication from the prime minister’s office.
