WASHINGTON — Reaching out to Iran and other neighbors, a top Iraqi official called Tuesday for the formation of an economic-security union designed to share water, energy and other resources, and mediate disputes among its members.
In outlining the proposal Tuesday at the U.S.-backed Institute of Peace, a think tank, Iraqi government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said informal discussions had begun with Iran, Kuwait, Syria and Turkey.
Saudi Arabia and Jordan could join the group as well, and the gulf states also might wish to participate, he said.
