Iran's President Pezeshkian Visits Iraq's Basra As Part Of His 3-Day Visit | Middle East News

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has visited the holy Shrines of Imam Hussein (AS), the third Shia Imam, and his brother Hazrat Abolfazl (AS) in Karbala, Iraq.

The visit to Karbala took place on Thursday as part of President Pezeshkian’s state visit to Iraq which is his first foreign visit since he took office in August.

The president had already met top-ranking Iraqi officials in Baghdad and visited the holy shrine of Imam Ali (AS), the first Shia Imam, in Najaf.

He then went to the Iraqi Kurdistan region where he met with top officials of the Kurdistan Regional Government.

On the last day of his three-day visit, Pezeshkian will go to Basra on Friday to monitor some projects carried out by Iranian contractors in this province.
