Tehran, Iran, Jun. 26 – Former Iraqi Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari arrived in Tehran on Monday to hold talks with Iranian officials, the government-run news agency Fars reported.
The ex-Iraqi Prime Minister had arrived in Tehran on an unofficial trip, the report said.
Al-Jaafari heads the Islamic Dawa Party, a Shiite group which has close ties to Iran.
