While maintaining good relations with its Iranian neighbor and top energy provider is strategic, Baghdad also sees the potential a stronger U.S.-Iraq and Iraq-Gulf relationship could deliver.
On April 26, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif arrived in Baghdad to initiate a series of official talks concerning the future of relations between the two countries.
