Iraqi PM meets Iranian leaders

[spanone]

Iraq's prime minister is in Tehran for talks with Iranian leaders, with a proposed US-Iraq security pact likely to dominate proceedings.

Nuri al-Maliki's third visit to the Iranian capital since he took office two years ago comes amid criticism in Baghdad and Tehran over the planned deal to keep US soldiers in Iraq beyond 2008.

"The prime minister's visit to Iran is considered a step in a series of visits ... and to form a strategy committee to develop the relationship between the two nations," Ali al-Dabbagh, an Iraqi government spokesman, said on Saturday.
