Iraq moves forward with floating LNG transfer system
Baghdad ( – Iraq has made an important step toward improving its energy security by announcing the ongoing development of the floating platform project, which would help the country import liquefied gas from different countries. This measure is part of the government's effort to ensure the country's fuel supply and operate power plants. The Iraqi government and the Energy Ministerial Council recently issued directions outlining the project's execution procedures, which include inviting specialized businesses, organizing technical and administrative committees, and identifying the necessary infrastructure to handle imported gas. The Ministry of Oil announced that it finished vital pipelines to support the project, demonstrating the government's commitment to prepare all essential needs before the floating platform goes operational. These initiatives come at a time when Iraq is suffering tremendous issues with electrical stability. These steps represent a serious shift toward expanding import channels and diversifying supply sources, guaranteeing considerable flexibility in securing liquefied natural gas (LNG) and achieving stability in the electricity grid following years of reliance on a single source. A floating platform serves as a link between the LNG carrier and the shore-based receiving or exporting facilities. According to a recent decision by the Energy Ministerial Council, six foreign corporations were asked to make technical and commercial proposals for this project. The Ministry of Oil established a technical committee to analyze the proposals, in addition to a combined ministerial committee comprised of the Ministries of Oil, Electricity, and Transport. These committees were tasked with assessing bids and making suitable choices while maintaining the greatest standards of transparency. These operations demonstrate Iraq's capacity to effectively handle significant energy projects, as finishing pipelines before the floating platform enters the operational phase is critical to the project's success.

100+ lawmakers push for PMF Law vote
Shafaq News – Baghdad More than 100 Iraqi lawmakers have endorsed a request for an extraordinary parliamentary session to vote on the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) Authority Law, MP Ibtisam al-Hilali disclosed on Sunday. Al-Hilali, a lawmaker of the Iran-aligned Shiite Coordination Framework, told Shafaq News that the signatures will be submitted to parliament's leadership to set a date, stressing that the legislation is 'essential' and must advance despite external pressures to block it. The proposed law seeks to regulate the PMF, a powerful umbrella of armed groups integrated into Iraq's security apparatus after the 2014 war with ISIS. Supporters argue it secures fighters' rights, while critics caution it could formalize the influence of the groups beyond full state control. Parliament has remained frozen since August 5, when a clash between Speaker Mahmoud al-Mashhadani and Deputy Speaker Mohsen al-Mandalawi over chairing authority stalled proceedings, leaving major bills — including the PMF Law — in limbo as political blocs shift focus to the November 11 elections. Independent MP Jawad al-Yasari confirmed
