Regional politics
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has delayed his trip to Iran as it coincided with President Mahmud Ahmadinejad's trip to several Latin American states, an official at the Iranian Embassy in Baghdad said on Sunday. In the meantime, the Iraqi Embassy in Tehran announced the postponement of Prime Minister Maliki's visit to Iran and said that it will take place after the return of President Ahmadinejad from his Latin American tour. President Ahmadinejad will depart for taking part in the United Nations General Assembly, New York and several Latin American states this week.
