US Secretary of State Antony Blinken made an unannounced visit to Iraq on Friday to meet with Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani amidst the international community's concerns over the Syrian government's collapse.
Blinken held a meeting with Sudani in Baghdad, following a series of discussions in Turkey and Jordan, as part of urgent efforts to coordinate a response to the recent fall of Bashar al-Assad's regime to rebel forces.
