Ali al-Zaidi is the current Prime Minister of Iraq, a position he assumed in 2026 amidst a complex geopolitical landscape. His leadership is marked by efforts to balance Iraq's relationships with both the United States and Iran, especially in light of the recent escalation of tensions due to Iranian-backed attacks from within Iraq. Al-Zaidi faces significant challenges in addressing security threats posed by newly formed Iranian-linked militias that threaten regional stability and Iraq's relations with its Gulf neighbors.
