Trump Backs Iraqi Businessman Ali AlZaidi for Prime Minister on May 11, White House Demands Iran Distance

According to reports on May 11, U.S. President Trump backed Iraqi businessman Ali AlZaidi as a leading candidate for Iraq's next prime minister and invited him to visit Washington. The White House conditioned its support on AlZaidi distancing from Iran-backed militias and weakening Tehran's influence in Baghdad. The U.S. Treasury Department previously sanctioned AlZaidi's bank in 2024, prohibiting dollar transactions due to suspected ties to a militia leader affiliated with Iran's Revolutionary Guard.
