Following retaliatory strikes by the United States on Friday night against dozens of sites in Iraq and Syria used by Iran-backed militias, an Iraqi militia official on Saturday expressed a desire for regional 'de-escalation' in the Middle East. The strikes targeted both Iranian-backed militias and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Iraq's Prime Minister al-Sudani, who visited Iran-backed proxy militants injured in the U.S. airstrikes, is expected to visit Washington and potentially be received at the White House in April. Tehran condemned American and British military attacks on Yemen. Ali Akbar Ahmadian, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, arrived in Baghdad for his first visit amid high tensions over US strikes and the war in Gaza. He was welcomed by Iraq's deputy national security advisor, Essam Al-Saadi. Prime Minister al-Sudani hosted Ahmadian and emphasized Iraq's efforts to maintain stability and establish peace.
