"We don't interfere in Iraq's internal affairs — as long as Iraq does whatever we say."
That's the honest translation of Ghalibaf's diplomatic line.
I listened to Halbousi's full interview. The takeaways:
▪️ The real fight was over disarming Iraq's armed groups — and both sides tried to hide that it happened.
▪️ Ghalibaf's "non-interference" pledge came with an unspoken condition: Iraqi consensus is respected only when it matches Tehran's.
▪️ This wasn't a ceremonial visit. Disarmament, the Strait of Hormuz, and corruption files on Iraqi officials were on the table.
▪️ The line that gives it away: "our argument got very heated."
Protocol visits don't end in heated arguments. Sovereignty does.
