His Eminence Sayyid Al-Hakeem, Head of the National State Powers’ Alliance, received a delegation from the Atlantic Council this evening, Sunday, 8 February 2026, at his office in Baghdad, where they exchanged perspectives on recent political developments in Iraq and the wider region.
His Eminence underscored the need to safeguard Iraq’s stability, consolidate it, and turn it into a lasting and sustainable state of stability, highlighting Iraq’s pivotal role in ensuring regional stability, as proven by the trials and challenges it has endured in recent years.
