Exclusive: Qaani in Baghdad on a quick visit, handing over a special message to faction leaders and politicians
3/19/2025
An informed source revealed that the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Esmail Qaani, made a brief, unannounced visit to Baghdad.
The source told Shafaq News Agency that Qaani held an important meeting with leaders of the Coordination Framework, in the presence of leaders of the factions and the Popular Mobilization Forces, as well as the Iranian ambassador to Baghdad.
He added that the meeting emphasized the need for Iraq to adhere to neutrality and not interfere in the Syrian conflict, as well as to control the security situation and prevent any attempts outside the framework of the state, amid warnings of dire consequences. The meeting also discussed the expected events following the US attack on the Houthis in Yemen, in addition to dismantling the security situation and the events taking place in the Middle East.
He continued, "Qaani's meeting included Iranian messages to the government, including support for the Iraqi government's position to maintain this balance and not engage with any party against another. However, if Iraq is subjected to an Israeli strike, Iran will not remain silent and will support any position issued by the government or any response issued by armed factions."
This comes after informed sources revealed to Shafaq News Agency that US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth delivered a strongly worded warning message to Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani during a phone call last Sunday.
He added that "Hegseth informed al-Sudani that any interference by Iraqi armed factions in the US targeting of the Houthis in Yemen would prompt Washington to launch a swift military response against those factions inside Iraq, and therefore they must be prevented from any interference, as happened previously in the wars in Lebanon and Gaza."
The sources added that "the US Secretary of Defense stressed to Al-Sudani the need to expedite the resolution of the issue of disarming the armed factions and work to dismantle them. He emphasized that this issue is of great interest to President Trump and his administration, while Al-Sudani confirmed that the government is working on this issue and is in dialogue with the armed parties to reach an agreement in this regard."
These warnings come after Israel resumed its attacks on the Gaza Strip, ending a fragile truce that had lasted for weeks since the ceasefire went into effect in January. They also came after the US began airstrikes on Houthi positions in Yemen following their threat to maritime navigation.
