Iraqi PM embarrassed as pro-Iran minister declines to sign Turkey agreement
Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi faced an awkward moment after his Transport Minister, Wahab al-Hasani, who is known for his pro-Iran stance, declined to sign a $15-billion Development Road agreement with Turkey. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan noticed the signature was absent and brought it to the attention of al-Zaidi, who then demanded an explanation. When al-Hasani claimed he had sent a message via WhatsApp, the Iraqi PM directed him to complete the signing immediately.
