The story

Iraq's oil production has collapsed to 1.39 million bpd following a Strait of Hormuz blockade, forcing Baghdad into a desperate scramble to revive northern export pipelines through Turkey. The supply disruption tightens global crude markets while simultaneously elevating geopolitical risk premiums and spotlighting pipeline infrastructure plays in the region.

The house read
