Iraq To Restore Kirkuk-Turkey Pipeline as Iran War Chokes Off Exports

Iraq is urgently working to restore the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline to Turkey as the ongoing Iran war has effectively shut down its southern Gulf export corridor. Oil Minister Hayan Abdul-Ghani confirmed revamping of the pipeline network to allow federal crude to flow north through Turkey's Mediterranean port of Ceyhan. This move reflects a critical shift in Iraqi oil export strategy driven by regional conflict.
