- Iraq and Turkey signed a one‑year deal to boost oil exports via the Kirkuk–Ceyhan pipeline, targeting at least 750,000 barrels per day (up from roughly 200,000 now).
- The move is meant to reduce Iraq’s reliance on southern routes through the Strait of Hormuz after shipping disruptions tied to the U.S.–Iran war.
- The agreement is part of broader talks on energy and infrastructure and could lead to bigger projects, like a pipeline linking southern Iraq to ports in Turkey and Syria.
