World Bank to give Syria $146mln to improve electricity supply
After 14 years of war, Syria's electricity infrastructure has suffered severe damage to grids and power stations, causing persistent fuel shortages.
The grant will support strategic projects, including linking the electricity grids between Syria and Turkey, and Syria and Jordan, and bolstering energy security, Syrian Energy Minister Mohammed al-Bashir said in a post on X in which he thanked the World Bank for approving it.

Syrian army plans to seize eastern provinces if Kurds fail to co-operate
The Syrian military is planning a major offensive by October to capture two main provinces on the Euphrates River from a mostly Kurdish militia that has refused to submit to Damascus, security sources told The National. If the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) does not hand over the bulk of its territorial possessions, a Syrian attack force of 50,000 being assembled near the desert city of Palmyra will sweep north and capture the governorates of Raqqa and Deir Ezzor with support from their overwhelmingly Arab tribal populations, the sources said. One of the sources, who holds a sensitive security position in Syria and requested anonymity, said the offensive would not go ahead 'without an American green light'. Another key would be ensuring non-intervention by Israel, which last month bombed Damascus to repulse a government offensive on the southern provincial capital of Sweida. US-sponsored talks have failed to make progress in bridging differences between the two sides. The secular SDF is increasingly being seen as recalcitrant in Washington by not handing any significant powers to Damascus, the source said – a view closer to that of Turkey, which wants the SDF's demise. Deadly clashes Re-establishing central control of SDF territory has emerged as a major obstacle to stabilisation since the removal of former Syrian president Bashar Al Assad in December by Hayat Tahrir Al Sham (HTS), an al Qaeda splinter group now in control of the state. Deadly clashes have increased between the SDF and forces loyal to Damascus since the US-sponsored talks between the two sides faltered last month. The two sides signed a deal in March to integrate the SDF into the Syrian army, but relations have soured since then. At Saudi and Turkish urgings, the US embarked in May on normalisation with Damascus. President Donald Trump met President Ahmad Al Shara in Riyadh, giving a glimpse of a potential alliance that could weaken Iran and Russia, and their allies in the Middle East. Staging grounds Another source said that staging grounds for the offensive are being prepared in the desert areas of Rasafah, on the road between Palmyra to Raqqa, and in Sukhnah, which links Palmyra with Deir Ezzor. Turkish proxies in the governorate of Aleppo, now part of the new Syrian army, would move against SDF positions east of the Euphrates river, near Tishreen Dam, once the multipronged attack begins. In the past eight years of the Syrian civil war, Turkey had carved out a zone in northern Syria, reliant on rebel allies now in power in Damascus, to limit the territorial expansion of the SDF. Arab tribesmen, thousands of whom had joined the SDF, would be expected to turn against the group at the start of military action, the source said. Around 30 per cent of the 70,000 core SDF members are members of Arab tribes. 'They have so many scores to settle with the Kurds,' the source said, referring to an SDF land grab of Arab areas since the US set up the Kurdish force in 2015 as the main ground component in the war against ISIS in Syria. Even a major advance by the government would leave the SDF with the province of Hasakah, where the Kurdish population is significant. Raqqa and Deir Ezzor are overwhelmingly Arab. The Kurds account for around 10 per cent of Syria's 23.8 million population, according to the CIA's World Factbook. However, currently SDF-held areas account for most of Syria's output of commodities, electrical power, and energy. US State Department officials have been urging the SDF to compromise, although it is seen as retaining strong support within US security branches. The SDF wants a federal system, an anathema Damascus, and to remain as a single unit, even if its joins the Syrian army. During the civil war, Russia, Iran, Turkey and the US built their own zones of influence in the country. But only Turkish and American forces have remained in Syria. Most of an estimated 20,000 Turkish force are deployed near SDF area, while the 1,000 American troops are mainly on bases within SDF territory.

Turkey wants full use of Kirkuk–Ceyhan pipeline - Is Iraq interested?
Turkey wants an oil pipeline from Iraq to be fully used in any new energy agreement that could replace a 52-year-old pact it abolished last month. Iraq has not responded yet to Ankara's proposal but analysts note that exporting 1.5 million barrels per day (bpd) through that pipeline is not feasible since nearly 80 percent of Iraq's crude exports of 3.5 million barrels per day are destined to Asia. In press comments last week, Turkish Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar said a new energy agreement between Turkey and Iraq must include a 'mechanism to ensure the full use of the oil pipeline between the two countries. Last month, Turkey said the accord covering the Kirkuk-Ceyhan oil pipeline would end in July 2026 and an Iraqi official said Turkey had proposed expanding the deal to include cooperation in oil, gas, petrochemicals and electricity. "This pipeline has a capacity of almost 1.5 million barrels per day. There's no flow at the moment. Even when it did flow, it was never at full capacity," Bayraktar said. The 970-km Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline has been offline since 2023, after an arbitration court ruled Ankara should pay $1.5 billion in damages for unauthorised Iraqi exports between 2014 and 2018. Turkey is appealing the ruling. 'I can't imagine Iraq will export 1.5 million bpd through that northern pipeline because Europe is not a major market for Iraq's crude,' said Nabil Al-Marsoumi, an energy and economics professor at Basra University in South Iraq. Biggest market in Asia Official Iraqi data showed Asian markets accounted for nearly 78 percent of Iraq's oil exports this year while the rest were supplied to Europe and the US. During the first half of 2025, Iraq exported around 3.4 million bpd of crude and more than half of the exports went to China and India. The figures by Iraq's state oil marketing organisation (SOMO) showed that in 2024, China alone imported 1.19 million bpd of Iraqi oil while India's imports stood at 1.09 million bpd and those by South Korea at 328,000 bpd. 'More than two thirds of Iraq's oil output is exported to Asian markets….these are very fast growing markets and reliable clients,' SOMO's director general Ali Nizar said. The bulk of Iraq's oil exports are loaded at terminals in the Southern port of Basra and Khor Zubair, where they are sent aboard tankers through the narrow Hormuz Strait. Iraqi energy experts believe that despite occasional risks at Hormuz, it remains the most feasible export outlet for Iraq's crude oil given its proximity to Asian markets and cheap tanker fees compared to pipeline fees. Iraq, OPEC's second largest oil exporter, has considered building a multi-billion-dollar pipeline from Basra to the Southern Jordanian port of Aqaba. It has also thought of reviving a 850-kilometre defunct pipeline that once transported part of its crude to the Western Syrian port of Tartus on the Mediterranean. 'The pipeline to Syria has not been maintained for decades…Iraq also considers that this pipeline is less economically feasible than the Kirkuk-Ceyhen pipeline when it comes to transporting crude to Europe,' said Walid Khaddouri, former information chief at the Kuwaiti-based Arab Energy Organisation. 'Furthermore, the European markets have been declining due to a gradual fall in demand…Iraq and other Gulf oil producers are now more interested in Asian markets, to which nearly 65-70 of their crude is exported.' Figures by the Iraqi finance ministry showed that China and India provided Baghdad with nearly 70 percent of its total oil export revenues in 2024. Sitting atop the world's fifth largest proven oil deposits, Iraq netted nearly $97 billion in crude export earnings last year at an average production of around 3.35 million bpd. The figures showed the value of hydrocarbon exports to China totaled around $38 billion in 2024, nearly 40 percent of Iraq's total oil export value last year. Oil sales to India were valued at around $29 billion last year, accounting for nearly 30 percent of the Arab country's total oil sales. Experts believe Asia may increase imports of Iraqi oil as some markets seek to replace Russian sources. They also cited plans by Iraq to invest in Asian refineries to expand crude export outlets. 'We have selected Asian countries for such investments given their rapid growth in energy demand and their high populations… These are vast consumer markets that will help Iraq maintain its market share and diversify its exports,' Iraqi government adviser Haitm Al-Fadli said in June.
