#BREAKING: Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani is set to visit Baghdad on Monday, Rudaw has learned.
He is expected to meet with leaders of the Shiite Coordination Framework to discuss outstanding political issues and the agenda of the new government.
Minutes before the shooting at the Washington Hilton, Rudaw’s Washington Bureau Chief, Diyar Kurda @diyarkurda, spoke with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio @marcorubio.
Speaking to Rudaw's Diyar Kurda @diyarkurda on Wednesday, Marlin Stutzman @RepStutzman said the chances of resolving longstanding tensions depend heavily on who holds power in Iran and whether the country abandons what he described as an “extreme ideology.”
“It’s going to really depend on who the new leadership of Iran is,” Stutzman said, expressing concern that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) continues to dominate both military operations and negotiations. “Are we going to still have the same extreme ideology in the new leadership? I don’t think that’s going to work in the long run.”
