Pezeshkian becomes first Iranian president to visit Iraqi Kurdistan with stops at Erbil, Sulaimaniyah

Pezeshkian's visit to Iraq comes at a time of heightened regional tensions, particularly as Israel continues its war on Gaza, southern Lebanon, and Yemen.
...
Pezeshkian's first meeting in Erbil took place at the Kurdistan Regional Presidency, where he was greeted by Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani at Erbil International Airport. The two leaders, joined by Kurdistan Prime Minister Masrour Barzani and other senior officials, discussed strengthening political, economic, and cultural ties.
...
Pezeshkian's tour will conclude with visits to southern Iraq, where he is expected to stop in the province of Basra, as well as the two holy cities of Najaf and Karbala. These sites hold deep religious and cultural significance for Iran, and Pezeshkian’s pilgrimage to the holy cities is likely to underscore the deep ties between the two countries' Shia populations.
