In anticipation of a renewed Iranian military offensive after the rainy season ends next month, the Iraqi regime has mounted a broad diplomatic effort to improve Baghdad's ties with the West and buttress its position in the Arab world. Last week Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Tareq Aziz flew to Paris on a multiple mission. He met with Massoud Rajavi, the exiled leader of the Mujahedin-e Khalq, the leftist Iranian guerrilla organization that seeks to overthrow Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini and the Tehran government.
