Bagheri has called Iraq an important neighbor of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which has a key position, saying that the two countries enjoy friendly ties.
Bagheri is in Baghdad upon an invitation by his Iraqi counterpart and is accompanied by a number of high-ranking military and political officials.
During his trip, General Bagheri is set to meet with a number of senior Iraqi officials, including the country’s prime minister and president.
Upon arrival in the Iraqi capital, the commander and his accompanying delegation visited the site of a US drone attack near Baghdad’s airport, which resulted in the martyrdom of Iran’s top commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, and Iraqi commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis in January 2020. Bagheri and his delegation paid tribute to the martyred commanders.
