"Iranian Commander Successfully Urges Iraqi Terrorists to Halt Attacks on US"
TL;DR Summary
Esmail Qaani, the head of Iran's elite Quds Force, visited Baghdad and urged Iran-aligned militias to refrain from attacking US troops in order to avoid heavy US retaliation, leading to a pause in attacks. This move is seen as an attempt by Iran to prevent a broader conflict and demonstrates its influence over Iraqi armed groups. The Iraqi government, seeking to prevent further escalation, has also requested Iran's help in reining in the militias. Talks between Iraq and the United States about ending the US presence in Iraq have resumed following the lull in hostilities, with both sides preferring negotiations over attacks.
