BAGHDAD - An Iraqi official says Iran has cancelled a visit to Tehran by Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi following his declaration that Baghdad will abide by the latest US sanctions against Iran.
Al-Abadi was to visit Iran and Turkey later this week. The official says the Turkey visit will go ahead as planned. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media.
Government spokesman Saad al-Hadithi declined to comment.
