Kirkuk–Baniyas Pipeline: Iraq's direct oil lifeline to the Mediterranean
Shafaq News Amid shifting geopolitical dynamics and volatile global energy markets, Iraq and Syria are revisiting the prospect of reviving the Kirkuk–Baniyas oil pipeline — a strategic export route that once carried Iraqi crude to the Mediterranean before decades of conflict and political rupture shut it down. Its restoration could give Baghdad a direct outlet to European markets, reducing dependence on Gulf ports and the Strait of Hormuz. On August 9, Syrian Minister of Energy Mohammad al-Bashir announced plans to visit Iraq to discuss the rehabilitation of the line linking Iraq's northern oilfields to Syria's Baniyas terminal, in a step aimed at strengthening bilateral energy cooperation. From Strategic Vision to Dormancy The concept of a northern export route emerged in the 1930s but materialized after Iraq's oil nationalization in 1972, as Baghdad sought to bypass Basra's foreign-controlled terminals. Stretching 880 kilometers from the 'K1' station in Kirkuk to the Syrian coast, the system included three parallel pipes, 12 to 30 inches in diameter, with key transit hubs such as 'K3' in Haditha. Designed to transport up to 1.4 million barrels per day, the line reached peak use in the 1980s, moving substantial volumes to Europe. Its operation was repeatedly interrupted — halted in 1982 when Syria sided with Iran during the Iran–Iraq War, reduced to minimal flows in the 1990s under UN sanctions, briefly restarted in 2000, and permanently shut after the 2003 US-led invasion left large sections in disrepair. Northern Oil Industry and Strategic Stakes The pipeline's operator, the North Oil Company — established in 1927 as the Iraq Petroleum Company before nationalization — manages some of the Middle East's oldest and richest oilfields, including Kirkuk, Bai Hassan, Jambur, Khabbaz. Based in Kirkuk, the company currently produces 250,000–300,000 barrels per day but plans, in partnership with BP, to expand Kirkuk field output to 750,000 barrels. Such growth would require additional export capacity to relieve pressure on southern terminals. Baghdad views the Kirkuk–Baniyas corridor as a tool to diversify routes, secure energy flows, and improve marketing flexibility. For Syria, it promises transit fees, increased port activity, and a renewed role as a regional energy hub. 'Its revival is not just an economic project — it is a strategic choice that will give Iraq greater maneuverability in marketing its crude and strengthen its energy security,' Iraqi Prime Minister's financial advisor Mudhir Mohammad Saleh told Shafaq News. Energy analyst Youssef Abdullah estimated the restored pipeline could handle 200,000–300,000 barrels per day, providing Iraq with a direct Mediterranean link and reducing reliance on the politically sensitive Strait of Hormuz. He added that the project could also serve as a foundation for broader Iraqi–Syrian cooperation in energy and transportation. Rehabilitation Plans and Challenges A senior North Oil Company official said an Iraqi delegation recently traveled to Syria to advance discussions, which covered: -A full technical survey of the pipeline and related infrastructure. -Formation of joint Iraqi–Syrian committees to assess security and technical requirements. -A comprehensive rehabilitation plan, potentially including rerouted segments and upgraded pumping stations. The official estimated the cost at $300–600 million, with possible financing from the federal budget, foreign partnerships, or regional investors. Despite these efforts, obstacles remain significant: extensive infrastructure damage, security risks along the route, political complexities, and the need to navigate international sanctions on Syria. Analysts caution that while the project could attract foreign investment to Iraq's northern energy sector, it may also face resistance from actors wary of engaging in sanctioned territories.

Iranian Security Chief Ali Larijani begins two-day visit to Iraq
Shafaq News – Baghdad On Monday, Ali Larijani, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, arrived in Baghdad for a two-day official visit. Upon arrival, Larijani met with Iraqi National Security Adviser Qasim Al-Araji. According to Iran's official news agency IRNA, he will consult with Iraq's three presidencies, State of Law Coalition leader Nouri Al-Maliki, and other political figures. During his stay, Larijani is expected to finalize new security agreements. Plans also include a visit to Najaf on Tuesday, where a meeting with Iraq's leading Shia cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, remains possible. Larijani's visit comes at a time of heightened political maneuvering in Baghdad, as US officials are pressing the Iraqi government not to approve the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) Authority law, which would formalize and expand the powers of the paramilitary coalition that includes several Iran-aligned factions. Following his visit to Iraq, Larijani will travel to Lebanon. Talks are set to focus on national unity, independence, and expanded economic and trade ties, alongside Iran's continued support for Lebanon's stability and development. Appointed Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council by President Masoud Pezeshkian on August 5, Larijani succeeded Ali Akbar Ahmadian. He previously served three consecutive terms as Speaker of Iran's Islamic Consultative Assembly and continues as a senior adviser to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Al Jazeera says 5 journalists killed in Israeli strike in Gaza
Gaza City – Al Jazeera said two of its correspondents, including a prominent reporter, and three cameramen were killed in an Israeli strike on their tent in Gaza City on Sunday. The Israeli military admitted in a statement to targeting Anas al-Sharif, the reporter it labelled as a 'terrorist' affiliated with Hamas. The attack was the latest to see journalists targeted in the 22-month war in Gaza, with around 200 media workers killed over the course of the conflict, according to media watchdogs. 'Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif has been killed alongside four colleagues in a targeted Israeli attack on a tent housing journalists in Gaza City,' the Qatar-based broadcaster said. 'Al-Sharif, 28, was killed on Sunday after a tent for journalists outside the main gate of the hospital was hit. The well-known Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent reportedly extensively from northern Gaza.' The channel said that five of its staff members were killed during the strike on a tent in Gaza City, listing the others as Mohammed Qreiqeh along with camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa. The Israeli military confirmed that it had carried out the attack, saying it had struck Al Jazeera's al-Sharif and calling him a 'terrorist' who 'posed as a journalist'. 'A short while ago, in Gaza City, the IDF struck the terrorist Anas Al-Sharif, who posed as a journalist for the Al Jazeera network,' it said on Telegram, using an acronym for the military. 'Anas Al-Sharif served as the head of a terrorist cell in the Hamas terrorist organisation and was responsible for advancing rocket attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops,' it added. Al-Sharif was one of the channel's most recognisable faces working on the ground in Gaza, providing daily reports in regular coverage. Following a press conference by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, where the premier defended approving a new offensive in Gaza, al-Sharif posted messages on X describing 'intense, concentrated Israeli bombardment' on Gaza City. One of his final messages included a short video showing nearby Israeli strikes hitting Gaza City. In July, the Committee to Protect Journalists issued a statement calling for his protection as it accused the Israeli military's Arabic-language spokesperson Avichay Adraee of stepping up online attacks on the reporter by alleging that he was a Hamas terrorist. Following the attack, the CPJ said it was 'appalled' to learn of the journalists' deaths. 'Israel's pattern of labelling journalists as militants without providing credible evidence raises serious questions about its intent and respect for press freedom,' said CPJ Regional Director Sara Qudah. 'Journalists are civilians and must never be targeted. Those responsible for these killings must be held accountable.' The Palestinian Journalists' Syndicate condemned what it described as a 'bloody crime' of assassination. Israel and Al Jazeera have had a contentious relationship for years, with Israeli authorities banning the channel in the country and raiding its offices following the latest war in Gaza. Qatar, which partly funds Al Jazeera, has hosted an office for the Hamas political leadership for years and been a frequent venue for indirect talks between Israel and the militant group. – Sealed off – With Gaza sealed off, many media groups around the world, including AFP, depend on photo, video and text coverage of the conflict provided by Palestinian reporters. Media watchdog Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said in early July that more than 200 journalists had been killed in Gaza since the war began, including several Al Jazeera journalists. International criticism is growing over the plight of the more than two million Palestinian civilians in Gaza, with UN agencies and rights groups warning that a famine is unfolding in the territory. The targeted strike comes as Israel announced plans to expand its military operations on the ground in Gaza, with Netanyahu saying on Sunday that the new offensive was set to target the remaining Hamas strongholds there. He also announced a plan to allow more foreign journalists to report inside Gaza with the military, as he laid out his vision for victory in the territory. A UN official warned the Security Council that Israel's plans to control Gaza City risked 'another calamity' with far-reaching consequences. 'If these plans are implemented, they will likely trigger another calamity in Gaza, reverberating across the region and causing further forced displacement, killings, and destruction,' UN Assistant Secretary General Miroslav Jenca told the Security Council.
