PM Barzani says Baghdad added new condition to finance agreement
Also in Iraq Iraqi top court rejects lawsuits against major US-KRG energy deals Iraq arrests 11 local officials over deadly mall fire Iraqi top court to hear complaints against KRG-US energy deals Iraq parliament to probe drone attacks on Kurdistan Region A+ A- ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani on Thursday said the federal government added a new condition to a newly signed financial and oil agreement, further delaying salary payments to the Region's public servants, now overdue by nearly three months. 'After we agreed to the agreement and negotiated on the proposals… they added another point,' Barzani said during a speech in Erbil. He added that Baghdad now requires the Region to deliver 230,000 barrels of oil per day before releasing salary payments. Barzani's remarks come just days after Iraq's Council of Ministers approved a new deal to resume salary payments and restart Kurdish oil exports. Under the agreement, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) must export its entire oil output through Iraq's State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO), keeping 50,000 barrels daily for local use. In return, Baghdad is expected to make budget transfers and provide refined fuel if needed. The KRG is also obligated to hand over 120 billion Iraqi dinars (nearly $92 million) in non-oil revenues monthly for May. 'Until the 230,000 barrels are received, salaries will not be paid,' Barzani said, criticizing the move as unfair given repeated drone attacks that have disrupted oil production. 'On the other hand, those terrorists come and blow up our fields and don't allow oil production, so how can this work?' Since the deal was announced, drone attacks on the Kurdistan Region appear to have ceased. At least 18 strikes were recorded in July, most targeting oil fields operated by international companies. On Wednesday, two more strikes hit oil installations in Duhok province, prompting DNO to suspend operations at Tawke and Gulf Keystone to halt work at Shekhan as a precaution, according to the Erbil-based Counter Terrorism Directorate (CTD). Narmin Maarouf, a Kurdish member of Iraqi parliament's finance committee, told Rudaw on Sunday that Baghdad remains firm in its decision not to transfer funds to Erbil for May salaries until the agreed-upon amount of oil and non-oil revenues is delivered. The KRG blames the attacks on Iran-backed Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), an accusation Baghdad rejects. Aziz Ahmad, deputy chief of staff to Barzani, said Wednesday that drone attacks by 'criminal militias on the Iraqi government payroll' have cost the Region nearly 200,000 barrels in lost production. He said on Saturday that some of the attacks were launched from Kirkuk province. Barzani also accused the federal government of obstructing regional development by imposing sweeping control over both oil and non-oil revenue. 'They say you shouldn't have any kind of income at all, nothing at all, whatever you have, hand it over to us, so that these kinds of projects cannot be implemented by us,' Barzani said during the inauguration of a major freshwater supply project in Erbil, set to serve 33 neighborhoods for the next three decades. The remarks come as the KRG expands its Runaki initiative, which aims to deliver 24-hour electricity across the Region by 2026. Over two million people are already connected. Meanwhile, Iraq is grappling with its worst water crisis in 80 years, driven by drought and upstream dams in Turkey and Iran that have depleted the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. In a related development, Iraq's Federal Supreme Court on Sunday dismissed two lawsuits filed by lawmakers seeking to annul multi-billion-dollar gas deals signed in May between the KRG and US companies HKN Energy and WesternZagros - a cornerstone of the Region's energy and electricity plans.

Oil prices rise by $1 following drone strikes on oilfields in Iraq
Baghdad ( – The price of crude oil surged one US dollar on Thursday after drones attacked oil fields in the Kurdistan region of Iraq for the fourth day in a row. Brent crude futures finished at $69.52 per barrel, up $1.00, or 1.46 percent. US West Texas Intermediate crude futures closed at $67.54 a barrel, up $1.16, or 1.75 percent, according to Reuters. Oil output in Iraqi Kurdistan has been reduced by 140,000 to 150,000 barrels per day, according to officials in the oil sector, or more than half of the semi-autonomous region's usual output of roughly 280,000 barrels per day. On Thursday, a drone hit the Tawke oil field in Iraqi Kurdistan, which is operated by the Norwegian company DNO, for the second day in a row. On Wednesday, bomb-laden drones struck oilfields in the Iraqi semi-autonomous region, forcing two oilfields run by Norway's DNO to suspend operations. DNO, which manages the Tawke and Peshkabir oilfields in the Zakho area bordering Turkey, said it had temporarily halted production at the fields following explosions that left no one injured, according to Reuters. On Tuesday, a drone assault interrupted operations at the Sarsang oilfield in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, a few hours before its US operator, HKN, inked an agreement for the development of another oilfield in the country. The Joint Operations Command in Iraq revealed that the Khurmala oil field in the northern Iraqi province of Erbil was targeted on Monday with two drones. The attack on the Khurmala oil field that took place at 8:30 pm caused material damage with no casualties reported.
